just on there site and they say

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Thank you for your interest in ADSL and eircom's plans to bring this new service to customers.
Our aim is to offer the best ADSL enabled service we can, to as many customers as possible,
from Autumn this year.
From Monday July 2nd '01 we will be conducting an operational trial of ADSL technology.
The purpose of the trial is to test the end to end processes related to the technology.

The rollout of ADSL requires a significant technological upgrade of each telephone
exchange. 9 exchanges in Dublin are being upgraded for the trial to allow for a proportionate
cross-section of customers. The planned upgrading of additional exchanges at launch will
ensure that we reach as many of our customers as possible with a quality product within a
short time period.

The benefits of ADSL are expected to attract particular interest from the business community.
However, we will be inviting both business and residential customers, whose telephone line
meet the pre-qualification criteria, to come on the trial.

Customers will be contacted by mail and will be asked to call a dedicated freefone number to
apply for the trial. The limited number of places on the trial will be allocated on a first come,
first served basis and installations will commence on Monday July 2nd '01.

Details of our ADSL product offering at launch are still under discussion with the other service
providers and the Telecommunications Regulator. However, as soon as we are in a position to
provide customers with more specific details of our ADSL offering and our plans for launch, we
will do so </font>

We are scheduled to have the first rollout of ADSL from Eircom later this Autumn. There is an operational trial in 10 Dublin exchange areas this summer. However your local exchange is not in scope for this trial.

Please keep an eye on the ADSL pages on www.eircom.ie for further developments. I have noted your e-mail address and as soon as we have further information we will contact you.
