    :D Just have a look at the Broadband threads here and words like that, and many others with four letters of an even stronger nature, are there to be found in plenty.
    The worst part for us here in Donegal is the absence of any alternative to Eircom or their resellers - the words 'frying pan' and 'fire' are the polite way to describe that choice :(
    Still, I'll be interested to hear what it's all about - thanks for the information Irish1967.

    Id be interested to hear what was said. Im sure it was a load of bullshit in any event. Remember the much publicised rural broadband scheme that was to cover 95% of the county and was to be up and running last November.

    Is that the Group Broadband Scheme (GBS) you refer to? It was scrapped a long while ago.

    I agree with ednw, it did seem strange that a lecture about BB in Donegal was in Sligo IT. Maybe LYIT was booked out!

    I opened the stream about 9pm but due to UTV bb acting up at the moment, dropouts were a ngihtmare. I am not even sure they were talking about broadband on the stream by the time I connected.

    It was part of the Community Network Scheme (CNS) which was to have been completed by Nov. 07. Linky

    NWE were appointed contractors but I phoned them once and sent 2 emails and never got a reply from them.

    There was a discussion some time ago on this and I might just bring it up again as this thread is more to do with the oceanfm programme last night.
