from the description of Breeze 2mb, it sounds good, with 2mb up/down and no cap limit. i know alot of people complain about ripwave, so i was hoping breeze was better.

also, does anyone know where the IBB broadcasting mast is in Carlow?

Ask there, you'd probably get a quicker answer.

ive got teh breeze 3mb and its not as bad as poeple make out, it works perfectly half the time sub 20 pings to servers, i don't play wow however but i do dabble in the fps scene. i don't know how much Wow is effected by packet loss but u will get it on IBB at teh busy times and sometimes it'll just be totally useless. as im writting this the IBB dns server im connected to is fecked up an i can't access any website (im using my neighbours unsecured wireless to get dns lol) and i keep getting ping spikes that last about a minute and and so i timeout of any online game and my ventilo server, this isn't all the time but the fact that it happens at all is very annoying. but my flatmate needs the no limits and fast upload speed for his work so im kinda stuck with it.
Bottom line is this: i wouldn't recommend it for games at all or in fact for webbrowsing but it is still broadband and thats better than none if u can't do the contract for cable or adsl. But the download speeds are great and the no limits means u can get all the free torrents u like.
