I just heard about this company: http://www.leap.ie/home1.htm who are offering a wireless DSL Eircom alternative. Their SOHO package is €99 per month, for 512Kb. Anyone familiar with this crowd? Comments?

Yep samson, weve been talking about em on the IOFFL board for a while.

They are a really good outfit. Their techs and salespeople really know what they are talking about.

Atm they only cover areas in south dublin (near the city - 2,4,6,8 i think, maybe 1 if your lucky).

Their deal is synchronous, so its 512 up AND down and of course theres no cap.

Its wireless, so you need line of sight to various masts (leeson st bridge and rte are 2 afair)

Theres a certain prominent admin on this site who uses the service and has nothing but good to say about them (hint - his name rhymes with 'before':) )

Odd, I'm in dublin 3 and i can get the service. Due to the wireless nature of the product its not confined to strict north south areas, if your living just outside thsoe areas you might still be able to get it.
