Conclusion on the Best Deal
• After researching and comparing Broadband options available to a SME in Blackrock I have reached a conclusion.
• Although Eircom,BT and DigiWeb all have reasonable offers and bundles I think the Vodafone landline and broadband offer is best suited to the company.
• I came to the conclusion that a graphic designer would need a 3MB downloading speed and a landline.
• With this in mind Vodafone’s offer of €40 a month is the best deal out there.
