    Anyone have any experience with it? Going to college in Trinity next year and it may be my only option for gaming...

    I presume pings would be reasonable in the city centre? maybe 50ms?

    Any thoughts welcome :)

    Ripwave is 100ms to 2000ms pings.
    3G/HSDPA is 120ms to 1000ms pings.
    Digiweb Mobile may be receivable near Trinity and has < 50ms to local servers. (Not 3g/Edge/GPRS/HSDPA, completely different technology).

    damn :( Thanks for the help, I know Irish Broadband Breeze (mounted aerial) gets around 5ms ping in certain parts of Dublin and still very respectable pings in the city, but I don't think Trinity would be to happy about an aerial on my outside wall :/

    Just had a look on The Digiweb site, it's still saying
    "Our next generation broadband is live in Fingal County, including :
    Balbriggan, Ballyboughal, Blanchardstown, Clonsilla, Corduff, Donabate, Kinsealy, Mulhuddart, Portmarnock, Rush, St Margarets and Swords."

    As far as I know, that's about all the availability at the moment. I rang up recently about coverage around Phibsboro/city centre and was told they've no roll-out dates or information.
