    Even Greece does better.

    Ireland has highest EU percentage of slow net connections
    29.01.2010
    Ireland has the highest percentage of slow internet connections in Europe at 3.4pc and the fourth lowest percentage of connections higher than 5Mbps at 9.4pc, according to research.


    Broadband lobby group IrelandOffline pointed to a survey released yesterday by Akami, a firm that delivers Windows patches to computers every month, which pointed out that the country has a higher rate of dial-up and mid-band 3G coverage than many other European nations.

    “The leading countries in this survey all have wide-scale fibre deployed to the home, today.

    “Irish people are more likely to be looking for that mystical Blue Light on their 3G dongles while up in the attic getting that urgent email out before they go to bed,” Wallace said.

    quote“Ireland cannot be accused of policy failure because we simply do not have a policy. It would be fairer to say we have a policy vacuum."
