Can we create Ireland Offline II for broadband??

BarryM · 2008-02-16 16:42:20

Hi, I was an 'early adopter' in Ireland Offline, I even made a financial contribution!!

Hope the debate went well.

John,
Some of us work for major ISPs, and indeed have been accused of partiality and bias here by some people.

That's because you attacked Digiweb's competition while talking bollox about Digiweb at the same time Watty. Still carrying that cross eh?
