2. The purpose of this presentation is to outline
the different types of broadband services
available to me as a sole trader located in the
Skerries area, North County Dublin.

3.  Broadband is high speed internet access
 Broadband service provides higher-speed of
data transmission. It allows more content to
be carried through the transmission
“pipeline.”
 Broadband is always on. It does not block
phone lines and there is no need to reconnect
to network after logging off.

5. Digital subscriber line (DSL) is a family of
technologies that provides digital data
transmission over the wires of a
local telephone network. This is the most
commonly used broadband.

18. Taking into consideration all of the information
gathered on each of the different broadband
providers I feel the “Up to 12/1MB Business
Plus” plan from Eircom would be best suited for
my business needs.

19.  I believe this is the best package to provide me
with sufficient internet access to run a successful
business from home.
 Being a small business owner, reliable, high
speed internet access is crucial for my business to
succeed. Eircom is a name I know and trust and I
would feel comfortable signing up for their ADSL
broadband package.
 Price is also a very important factor to consider
and this package offers me free installation and a
very manageable monthly fee of €65.
 I also feel the download and upload speeds of 12
MBPS and 1 MBPS would be sufficient for my
business needs.
