SMART Telecom came out on top.
If they're not available BT came second and then digiweb came 3rd.

    	    <description><![CDATA[Not 100% on galway, but I'm on eircom for 7 years now in Dublin and I've had very few problems with them. Ok, there are a bit expensive than the main competitor which is BT, but BT went bankrupt last year or the year before that (and the govt had to bail them out) which made me rethink the idea of a switch. Eircom also had a problem with interleaving a few months back when they were upgrading their lines, where a lot of gamers (ut, tf2, cs) had really bad pings at peak times (where we went from ~40 to ~140), but that solved now. I'm on a 3M line bundled with free calls and stuff

As for options, my mate is on NTL and he's had no problems whatsoever on it (he switched to NTL from BT after their shenanigans). He's on an 8M line, ucapped dl and 2GB upload afaik.
BT has been going steady though and I know a few people who have switched to it recently and have had no problems with it. They still have that interleaving problem that eircom had, but you can just call up their customer support and they'll turn it off for you. 
If you want more info mate i would recommend posting at www.boards.ie in the broadband section.]]></description>
