    im really sorry if i sound like an eejit here or if this has been asked before..

    could somebody please give me some info on the DSL service..

    1) Are Eircon planning on releasing it all over ireland or just to specific areas in may?

    2) about what price will it be?

    3) is there any confirmation on any of these?


    thanks..

    No. Initially it will only be released in the areas that it is currently trialling in. These areas are only in Dublin (mostly southside, some northside areas). There was a list of all the enabled exchanges somewhere on this forum, but i cant find it:)
    A phased rollout across the country will then take place.
    There is still no confirmation of when this will take place. The old axiom of 'Soon...Dont hold your breath' probably applys.
    2) about what price will it be?
    No-one is quite sure. The 'official' price is still Eur132 per month, altho new reports set it at around 80-100 euro. This has not been confirmed AFAIK.
    The download cap of 3 Gigs seems to be still planned.
    3) is there any confirmation on any of these?
    no :/

    thanks.. [/B][/QUOTE]

    This will sound sarcastic, but it's the truth:

    1) Are Eircon planning on releasing it all over ireland or just to specific areas in may?

    We don't know it will be released in May. We don't know where it will be released.

    2) about what price will it be?

    We don't know.

    3) is there any confirmation on any of these?

    No.

    Again, that's the way it is. There is no guarantee that DSL will be released by Eircom in May, all we've heard ir rumour and supposition. Neither do we know who will release it, where they will release it, or how much it will cost. Any commentary on any of these, unless they come direct from the horse's mouth's, will be guff. Don't listen to it.

    don't matt its all still pie in the sky it will probably go all pearshaped like the isdn or chorus's mystical " powernet"

    the general policy of eircom is "too little , Too late"
