Gosh

Now that this is finally being rolled out to schools I was wondering if anyone out there would be interest in sharing their experiences. Perhaps you could post details as follows:

Thanks - it would be nice to see details and to see how the roll-out continues and whether the programme meets expectations.

I'll get some details from my mother's school.

Think they're on 2meg DSL, one PC hooked up at the moment. I'd have the school networked except it's a listed building and (afaik) I can't certify the work.

school is john the baptist secrondary school hospital co.limerick
(hospital is name of town)
we got satellite broadband in october
every room has own connection
but only teachers and some ty's get to use it
service is from ildana www.ildana.net
just out of curiousity could our school get in trouble for not letting students use it
come on its not like they did it for the teachers
and were a new school with 900 students and all

The only reason I haven't looked at the metro link or set it up as I'm far too lazy/busy to get around to it.
