    Just seen it this morning.. What do you guys think there seems to be a lot going on in terms of colour, and the logo looks like a little scribble?

    My first thoughts when I saw the redirect was "is it a scam?"
    I saw no advertising of the new name.

    They are advertising themselves as "The Fastest Broadband In Ireland" with speeds "Up to 100Mb".

    UPC offer up to 240Mb so that's false advertising off the mark right there.

    Then they have "1,000Mb" at the bottom of the page, who are they kidding.

    Likewise, Tatranska.

    There doesn't seem to be a single mention of the Eircom name on their website now, apart from a fleeting glimpse of one tiny sentence in the top banner. Even in their Press Release page doesn't mention the name Eircom!

    I have UPC. Rarely get above 5Mb. The broadband business is the new snakeoil. They've all tout stuff, but nobody really believes it.
