I'm currently upgrading my broadband, and i'd like to know what you think of this offer ;

12Mb downstream; 1Mb upstream
24 hour online connection - no time restrictions
No telephone line required
120GB usage limit
Up to 15 email addresses
300MB web space
FREE wireless router

With UPC Broadband Ultra you get a FREE wireless router worth € 49.99
and two months half price

All for 40€ a month. roughly 25 pound?

Is this a good offer, and do i have enough of a usage limit.

Thank you

Kevin

It's not a bad deal. They seem a decent ISP. The thing is i don't know what other ISPs are available in your area to compare to.

Thank's nick for replying to my post,
There are quite a few ISP's, but it's not just about the speed, its about the uptime/maintaining speed. If the company only offers theese speeds rarely, It's usless.

Here are the top ISP's in dublin, according to speedtest

From what i can see they're probably the best you can get in your area. They seem to be using a contention ratio of around 30:1 which should mean the speeds are consistently decent.
