    The new trial will complement the existing ADSL trials that have been ongoing in Ennis for around three years.

    What I want to know is what the hell are they trialling?

    We know it works, the world know it works. Why the hell is it being trialled for 3 years?

    Ick. That sickens me.

    To be fair Ivan, VDSL is a (relatively) new technology that hasn't been trialled extensively in the real world. I just find it ironic, which is why I posted it.

    I don't remember the exact details, but at the last IOFFL meeting
    in Dublin didn't an Eircom representative say that the average number of hours people spend on line was very low. One of the reasons she gave for this was thAT people were "bored" with the internet. :rolleyes:

    Well don't the latest figures from the Ennis project refute that claim, especially when you see that they spend more time online than anyone else in the country.

    Maybe the info gathering group could use this

    In finland they have been trialling DSL technology with d/l speeds of 10mbit. That's since at least last August, and chances are, as already stated we won't see it for anywhere up wards of 3 years in the rest of the country.
