    I'm sure quite a few people will be satisfied enough with the UTV announcement in particular to regard the battle as won.

    However, it's important to remember that UTV and Esat will both be marketing their products as (potential) loss leaders. Without a movement from Eircom on the interconnect charges both products may go the way of NoLimits. I'm not trying to create a dampening feeling - there's great progress in the flatrate 56k market with the UTV announcement in particular (approaching true flatrate more so than the Esat offering). The battle for available affordable DSL/broadband is of course just getting warmed up - with regard to the 56k market things must be feeling rather scorching in Eircom's offices over the past week.

    "Never give up, never surrender" should be our mantra over the coming (hopefully good) months

    36 users currently on the forum btw - well higher than normal. Good news travels fast.

    Certainly not in our case.

    As Martin has stated this product is not being introduced as a loss leader. This was made very clear at the launch.

    This thread was of course referring o the UTV announcement. I nearly burst keeping quiet about this one!!!!

    Mods feel free to lock this one. I think we've set a record for the most viewed thread in the shortest space of time with the main UTV annoucement thread!!!!
