    The once "mega overpriced" Beam offer could now save lots of you guys ca$h.

    heavy initial investment but it would be returned to you with true 24/7 unmetered broadband.

    About the boycott issue. I don't think there needs to be a boycott as such. Very few people will take up the offer and those that do will be heavy ISDN (mainly business) users. I don't think Eircom are seriously looking to make money off ADSL. I think they are responding to political pressure and are seeking to do so in such a way that they don't lose market share. I think they are quite happy making money off ISDN, PSTN and leased lines.

    Yep. Only alternative (... even starts to look competitive) is satellite. Just the thought of knowing I'd never have to deal with €ircon, let alone feed their "greed" makes me smile. :)

    And Beam have the ability to offer VOIP, you could dump Eircom forever!!!

    And that "V" not only means voice but video.

    European political pressure, without EU directives €ircon would never have introduced ADSL at all. The company still projects the same old staid, conservative, & familiar, persona. Man do we need competition. :/

    LOOK! here!

    Anyone that agree`s that the current price structure from eircom for adsl is fair or acceptable:eek: just has not got! the Intelectual capacity to comprehend the math and that we are being screwed and should not accept this monopolistic pricing structure that is on offer.

    Only by resisting and taking a stand will it have an effect on getting proper price structuring, supply and demand is the basic principle here, they supply it at a price and if the demand is to purchase at this price then were totaly screwed cos some fools and there money are easly parted and dont see the bigger picture.:rolleyes:

    thats what eircom want.
    theres no way to beat it.
    Eircom make lots of cash if you get DSL and they make lots if you dont.
