ImagineImagineImagine (3Mb Broadband) is 25 Euro a

month for 12 months, but after that it is 50 Euro a month and an initial Charge of 150 Euro is charged to set up the system.

The Best for meThe Best for me I have decided that UPC, business fibre power 30

would be best for my company. I have chosen this because it is a fixed line. Vodafone, Three and BT can be unreliable and very slow. These would be highly unbeneficial for a business package.

The package that I have chosen is: UPC because it’s:

Cheaper than Eircom per monthHas the same speed for less I get 2 VoicelinesThere is no Line RentalFibre power Broadband
