New announcement about Omnitel and Amocom combining and getting serious investment. Anyone any experience. The prospect of high upload speeds tempts me.

Yes. I am with them. 39.99 (incl vat) per month for about 2.5mb down and 1mb up. Consistent and low latency. They ahd some probs recently in my area (clare) with licensing links but things are sorted now. I recommend

Says on their website http://www.ripplecom.net/residential.php "no limits"

What is the max speed they offer?
What is their prices?

I can't find anything on their site, completely useless!

Got an email today from them confirming the details they are:

"The Residential package is as follows:
ALWAYS-ON UNLIMITED ACCESS BROADBAND
• Up to 2M Download/512k Upload
• €39.99(incl VAT) per month Direct Debit
• €149 (incl VAT) for installation
• No Phone Line Required"

I've got a 1Mb (max my line supports) ADSL with vodafone at home but the latency on it has been dire for the past couple of months that I think it may be worth the risk plus its a bit cheaper than Vodafone. Still a bit sceptical whether this would be any better.

How does it fair out for online gaming if you use it for that?

Thanks for that.

I see you need line of sight. So that rules me out. But I'm happy with Eircom.

Usually no problems at all. Had some d/cs recently but nothing major.
