Their main technical guy there is a scream

I had a good chat with him. He wasnt aware there was a difference between kilobit(Kb) and kilobyte(KB) and tried to convince me that the terms were in fact interchangable and the same(honestly). :rolleyes:

He was insisting that the machines on display was running a residential soho dsl 512. But I showed him downloading a file at a steady 102KBs (internet explorer - 8:15pm ) and couldnt convince him that this was actually over 800Kbs - well over the 512 theoritical max and I suggested they were being dishonest demoing this as the actual residential dsl you get when you signed up.

If you see him (guy in blue sweater uniform - not the sales guy in a suit) - slag him at bit

But the offer of the XBox for 79 euros if you sign up is very tempting...

i work in a multinational company, that makes pc's and one of the it guys once told me, "if you turn the refresh rate too high on a pc and the screen turns off, you have to re-install the os, becuase you cant see it to change it back" idiot

Eircom stores are doing a similar offer up til christmas.
Its 99 euros for an xbox with dsl connection (and the usual free modem,connection and 1st month free).

I dont think you get anything with the xbox.

Q: Do you need this Live (60 euros) to play on the internet? It looks just like a head set and a cd in the box. Do you _need_ a live subscription or does it just make things easier?

Aparently you also get two games (halo and midtown madness) a small type controler and a two month trial of xbox live.

There is a good deal on in Game at the moment.. seen this in game in grafton st..

xbox with 4 games
- halo
- midtown madness 3
- Medal of Honour front line
- Splinter Cell
