    So much for the 70-75% availability figures foisted about the place.

    The research was conducted by the independent market research company TNS mrbi on behalf of O2. Now in its third year, the findings uncovered a slight improvement in use of broadband over previous surveys: 42pc of respondents said they have broadband access from their office, up from 34pc last year. One third have broadband access from home, an increase from 23pc in last year’s survey. More troubling was the fact that 50pc said they had enquired about broadband and found it was not available.

    And then there is the Sponge Bob Inverse Mileage Argument.

    As work is more and more concentrated in larger towns with BB it is a fact that

    a)the further away you are from one of those towns the less likely it is that you can get BB and
    b)therefore the more daily mileage you do in the absence of BB .

    By this particular Law of The Sponge we could probably meet our Kyoto obligations by universally enabling all of Cavan, Westmeath , Laois and Carlow and Wexford in order to reduce commuter traffic into Dublin.
