Which provider has the best broadband deal in Ireland?

The best broadband deal for you will depend on a number of factors, including your usage habits, the size of your home, your budget and where you live.

For example, if you live in a small, quiet home and only use the internet for watching Netflix, streaming Spotify and chatting to friends, you might be more than happy with a connection that’s 100 Mbps or under.

However, if you live in a big, busy home with numerous devices streaming content at the same time, you might prefer a very powerful 360 Mbps or 1,000 Mbps connection, if these are available in your area.

You might also want to bundle your broadband with a TV and home phone plan, or you might be happy with a broadband-only deal.
