    I'm confussed now. I thought UTV resold Esat's DSL product, but their UTVip plans and CPS were carried over Energis' network.

    Hmm, I thought they used Energis for their telephony and CPS and Eircom Wholesale for their DSL.

    I'd see no reason why they would have to go through Esat for their DSL, RADSL doesn't require too much network setup, unike the other ADSL products.

    RADSL just requires an ACL from the closest Eircom Regional DSL Pop to UTV HQ, the internal routing gear at UTV HQ and bandwidth to the rest of the internet (through INEX peering etc.)

    UTV use energis for UTVip XL and for phone calls.

    UTV use esat and eircom for DSL, from my conversations with them if you are on an esat enabled exchange you can get a product from them via esat. Otherwise its from eircom.

    Ohhhh, I'm on the pigs back after hearing this news!

    Gimme some piggy points!

    More seriously though, I heard that they also offer ADSL, tried looking at there site for some info but I might as well have been trying to chase a slippery pig in shít around a sty.
