Esat BT already have a 1meg service, they even go up to 2meg if you need it. I've got the 2meg service myself, and I have to say it works a treat:)

tuxy

yes but you forgot to say your can only get that if you live near an esat exchange

I was just replying to the question asked!!!!!

Bu11et_Proof already has the Esat BT product and wanted to know if they went up to 1meg, it's kinda obvious he already lives near an esat exchange so why point it out??

Not all the exchanges do the 1 and 2 meg service.

Looks like 2 exchanges in Waterford cater for it so you should be fine

Nope, it's €90/month. The contention ration is 24:1, versus 48:1 for the RADSL service that oreillycom are selling (and IOL and UTV are reselling)

By the sounds of it, you are on residential Broadband (€50 a month), higher pings and a cap of 8GB per month.

The €110 is Esat Broadband is business, lower pings and NO CAP, so you can download 100GB a month if you want.
