    But ya gotta be connected to one of their norn iron exchanges and not their 40 LLU exchanges down here .

    http://www.siliconrepublic.com/news/news.nv?storyid=single6134

    Their current package is 2Mbits so thats an 'up to' 400% increase . Not everyone gets 8Mbits but
    BT estimates that more than 75pc of Northern Ireland phone lines should support new broadband download speeds of 4Mbps and above.

    and no Cap either .

    Not a chance....esp if the aussies take over and decide to just chop up eircom and sell it offf to the highest biddders....which could probable be a good thing in the long run!!!

    NO CAP!!! -> Traffic Shaping!

    In the US for example where uploads can be as high as 1Mb...some Cable co's have begun CAPPING the customers upload speeds if they are deemed detremental to the overall stability of their network!!!
