South Cambridge is very rural so funny enuff BT set ridiculous trigger levels and said there was no demand for DSL there. The Council stepped in to DSL enable the area and hired a shower called Trinity Networks to DSL enable them.

As Triligy were using their OWN DSL kit and not relying on the BT wholesale stuff they are now offering.

256/128 at 7.5Km (Eircom Guarantee 256k at 3.5Km with their cruddy kit, BT go to 6km)
