    That's the business option and is really expensive right?

    That's 1080 euro a year I think without installation for 512k/256k.

    that's like 20 euro a week, 80 a month....nothing wrong with that in my opinion for an uncapped service i'd say that's the best offer i've seen to date

    WOW. eircom could have learnt a lot if esat had launched before eircom. There prices would have been lower.

    This all sounds reasonably affordable, but will it be avilable to the general public?

    It probably will be...but not in the near future :(

    It's 270 a quarter (ex VAT) = €27.23 a week(inc VAT)

    Still 4 times as expensive as france, where it's €25 a month

    But agreed, much better than Eircom's offering.

    €1080 per year = €20.77 a week, thats a few pints and a packet of chips you could do without :)

    If like me you use your computer for education/work and entertainment then I think its good value for a new product.

    ESAT did say they hoped to target the residential market directly coming up to christmas (typical 'familys go to PC World and buy a computer' time) but I'd get there SME offering right now if I could :D

    Ivan i have no intention to offend you here, but Ill say this. You must be out of your mind if you think that €90 a month fro uncapped DSL is excellent. What do they pay for it in the UK? Lets assume STG£25 in some places, and in Euro that is around €40, which is less than half of what we have to pay esat.

    Anyone who finds that price reasonable should have a good think, seriously. Please i urge you dont give in, dont accept these prices. They are an outrage.

    €270 for 3 months of unlimited Internet access - that's not bad. I agree that it's not as good as it should be but in the current climate I think it's too good to be true. We've heard "in the next 12 months" before and I wouldn't be surprised at a repeat of the 'no limits' fiasco.

    For those saying this price is not excellent.. you mist understand.. to us it is!! Think about it.. have you seen the prices elsewhere? The only other ADSL option is Eircom and their prices are a farce! So in that respect its very cheap.. still too high compared to other countries BUT when it goes mainstream Eircom will hopefully reduce theirs and Esat theirs and so on.. competition rules!!!!

    If you go to the Esat DSL site and go to the availability section, the only one so far is limerick.

    ESAT seem to have broken their website into a bazillion little pieces. To be expected really when you see URLs that end in .asp...

    Try again on Monday.

    I wonder will Esat even be around by the time they expect to launch DSL.

    Have at a look at their Human Resources page here. They look like a company going places:rolleyes:

    But we live in Ireland, where we've had nothing of crappy prices in a long time. I got kicked off of IOL's unlimited Dial-up service, for "Overuse". If its cheaper than Eircon's prices, then its a step in the right direction. Eircon will have to lower prices or get beaten by Esat, then we will have a price war, else everyone will flock to Esat and they will lower their price due to demand. Either way, imho, its a win-win.
