    Via Adrian Weckler's site:

    1MB (100k upload) -- €20 per month
    2MB (200k upload) -- €25 per month
    3MB (300k upload) -- €30 per month
    6MB (512k upload) -- €40 per month

    The first three months rental are free and there's no connection fee.

    Rang sales people who know nothing yet. Might ditch my current ISP with a deal like that.

    They could do with updating their website aswell.

    And they could stave off the haemorrhaging of customers, buy giving existing/remaining cable tv customers a commitment on cable bb...

    *dreams*

    I wonder if they'll start to advertise properly now. I would imagine they will get the TV offerings the same and then merge.

    Same price and specs as NTL now. I wonder if the rebranding to UPC is coming soon?

    I've never used the Chorus service, but they make some of the best radio ads. (The Gardeners World one they have now is amusing).

    Probable stupidly small.

    Checked NTL yesterday and it appears that they have gone unlimited.

    As NTL no longer operate in Ireland....its kinda sad it was bought up by UPC before these changes came into effect for NTL's network!

    Info is on their site:
    Chorus reserve the right to charge for excessive downloads; download limits are Cablenet Broadband Easy – 10GB; Cablenet Broadband - 20GB and Cablenet Broadband Plus – 30GB per month, there is a charge of 3 cent per megabyte thereafter.

    Product names are:
    €25 Cablenet Broadband Easy
    €35 Cablenet Broadband
    €45 Cablenet Broadband Plus

    Similar enough to NTL.ie to be honest,

    The details on the site are still the old packages though. Would be hopeful they might increase them?

    6 meg package with 30 gig cap is tiny.
