Its 2Gb contended 20:000 to one if you read it properly Of course it could happen here, Dublin is riddled with multiple 2Gbs size pipe enabled data centres all along the M50 ring . Abbotstown is a short dig from lots of these not that it matters

ESB Fibre can drop a 2Gb pipe into any large town in Ireland. Any Star designated town on the map below can start a project like that if they please. The missing links in Ireland are vision and ambition , not 2Gb fibres .

No cheap(ish) broadband here: too far from the exchange, no wireless coverage.
I'm paying a fortune for satellite access.
