    I am doing a project on "Broadband development and implementation in Ireland" and i can't really find much info about broadband with relation to Ireland. I'm looking for sites with general information on broadband in ireland ie when it started, how quick it is growing etc
    So if anyone can help me out i would appreciate it!
    Thanks

    The Eircom Tribunal has some good stuff. You should check WikiPedia for information about all the BB providers and also their official sites. I have made a list of all the ISPs I can think of and some vaguely useful facts about the company. I'm sure you already have all this, but just to be sure:

    I also think you could add a section about the Future of Broadband in Ireland and talk about the struggle between Eircom and ComReg, the introduction of new technologies such as Cable and Wireless and their future impact on the Broadband Market. You could also talk about the purchase of NTL by UGC and the highly localised cable company in Dungarvan called Cablesurf, who also happen to offer the fastest service in the country.
