Ya don't understand!!! The rollout is happening throughout July! If you can get cable TV then you can get broadband as the broadband comes through the cable!

Being far from Mullingar town means nothing. There's 2 or 3 exchanges in Mullingar so you're bound to be close to one of them. Just means you may be getting 19mb broadband instead of 20mb

Cool, I didn't realise it's going through cable....I take it there's a contention ratio though....

I reckon if I can avail of it, I'll be ditchin' Geycom in a heart beat....

I think I'm 1-16 which I don't mind. On a 12mb package (soon to be 20 ) I've never dipped below 11.5mb download or 960kb upload

Yeah I might need it to ram it up their arses yet !!

Eircom have had a monopoly on the Irish network for years.
Things only started to move forward when Magnet entered the
Irish market. I'm suprised that this is even happening (NTL/UPC upgrade) what with the
the apparent recession we're supposed to be in...

Whats so hard to believe?

During a recession luxuries are the first things people get rid of. Broadband is a luxury. If they can give great broadband speeds at a reduced price then they can keep their customers


Btw we aren't anywhere near a recession yet A recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth whereas the first half of 2008 we had 2.5% growth The money we are getting from exports is also increasing with it growing by hundreds of millions this year

The only thing causing a recession is us. When others say we ar in a recession then we feel the need to cut down on spending and therefore that results in less sales for retailers which results in them cutting jobs to keep profit margins

Honestly its a huge step up. Before on Xbox Live it took me 8 hours to download a 6GB movie (I was on 2mb) now it only takes me 25 minutes!
