But not yet, not for many people. Broadband prices are still too high and the roll-out pace is too low. It's beginning to get there - once subscription prices fall below €40 a month, consumer take-up grows exponentially, Graylish notes.

Eircon seem to be the only people on the planet who don't see this. Do they really think that there is no demand or do they just have crap analysts.
