are you sure its not the wireless internet you have, as chorus cable internet is'nt happening at all.

carbsy

thanks for the help , I just wanted to know what kinda speeds I could expect as ADSL seems years away still (

I presume theres a d/l limit on chorus too (

Is there any unlimited option?

With Chorus powernet, 3gb/month free transfer limit, after that it's 2p per mb or something similar.

You don't really have any other options. Frustrating, isn't it?

Chorus Cable Internet is not available in Cork. The cable they have is rotting away and is not being replaced. Talk to Dahamsta in the Ireland Offline forum about Chorus he has had loads of experience with them.
