Anyone have a rough date for Furbo ?

spongebob

Furbo will get a MAN not ADSL.

Carraroe and Carna will get ADSL by March 2005 or so.

Barna (includes Furbo) and Knocknacarra (west part) and Spiddal are not on any list for ADSL.

Furbo will be WISP territory for the foreseeable future. Leap and IBB must launch by February 2005 at the latest. IBB are overdue while Leap have promised late this year IIRC .

A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large local area network (LAN) but smaller than the area covered by a wide area network (WAN). The term is applied to the interconnection of networks in a city into a single larger network (which may then also offer efficient connection to a wide area network). It is also used to mean the interconnection of several local area networks by bridging them with backbone lines. The latter usage is also sometimes referred to as a campus network.

Examples of metropolitan area networks of various sizes can be found in the metropolitan areas of London, England; Lodz, Poland; and Geneva, Switzerland. Large universities also sometimes use the term to describe their networks. A recent trend is the installation of wireless MANs.

Furbo is a place not a type of net connection
