Colt And Adsl

infomat

Thanks for your email.

COLT is currently in negotiations with Eircom to
evaluate offering ADSL services to business in the Dublin area. COLT currently offers ADSL services to customers in a number of European countries and it is our intention to replicate our ADLS services in Ireland.

Derek O'Connor is an Account Executive with COLT and he will be in contact with you regarding some of COLTs always on solutions.

Regarding pricing I can safely say we have very competitive pricing both within Ireland and in particular to EU destinations.

Regards,

Xterminator

Who are Colt?
I take it they cannot offer ADSLto exchanges not rooled out by eircom.

When will pricing details be avialble for Colt's service?

Read as: "Eircom do leased lines for £10,000, whereas we do them for £9,999!"

Thanks for that infomat. Keep us posted.

True ... a few months ago they quoted me for lease line access and it was not much better than Eircom.

I checked COLT's ADSL pricing in the UK which is as follows. At this stage I do not believe that they will be much of an alternative to Eircom or Esat

Just as an aside, broadband suppliers in the UK are continuing to drop their prices in line with BT's price cuts:

Nildram cuts cost of business-based broadband

from electric news:

"We have 15,000 DSL customers in the UK and we want to offer the same service to the corporate market in Ireland," said Keogh. "However, this will depend on Eircom's pricing structure and its roll-out plans."

Although they have a pan-european fibre optic network, they are pretty much in the same boat as esat ...

thats actually quiet good, see the RJ45 connector, that so you can conenct it to an ethernet card and share it out over serveral pcs, and the 20:1 ratio beats the hell otu of the bt 50:1. i dear say that service should be very good,

allso english prices have no reflection on prices here, the prices depend on the wholesale price
