    What can we do then? Wireless is often too expensive(at least for me).Im connected to the Drogheda exchange but I fail the test...:mad: A form of DSL is the cheapest, easiest option

    The above reminds me of a famous critic who said "this book should not be put down, it should be flung across the room" or summat like that.The publishing company put "This book should not be put down..." on the back of that book and wrote the critic's name underneath it. S/he sued the publishing company for liabel and lost:rolleyes:

    Cheapest is the more important word in that clause:)

    "Fail" is the most important word in the post. Cheap broadband you can't access is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

    Edit: by the way, don't be too quick to assume that DSL is the cheapest option: remember that at the end of the day, Eircom control that market. Knockmore's network provides access to its subscribers at the same monthly cost as the cheapest DSL provider, but with higher speeds.

    What'd really speed things up is if the last mile was handed over to an independant body so that eircom are no longer able to have complete control over the market.

    Truckle,

    Damn right you are. Maybe IrelandOffline might consider that as their next main objective. In view of past achievements, such as the great flat-rate & broadband campaigns.

    Which I believe we would still be dreaming about having, but for IOFFL's gallant efforts.

    N.B. Truckle, That's a brilliant piece of artwork that has suddenly appeared above. Now how do I print it out Hmmm.... Bloody hell, it's vanished ?... WTF :confused:
