DSL - any idea when it will be here and affordable

TheDuke · 2002-09-30 12:47:06

To all, many thanks in advance for all the guys that helped me with the online performance issues (re using Oceanfree and All-Seeing Eye). Now I am getting frustrated about the 15 player limit (any higher and the throughput just gets to high and the ping suffers). I know DSL is in the country but does anyone know when, how…

To all,

many thanks in advance for all the guys that helped me with the online performance issues (re using Oceanfree and All-Seeing Eye).

Now I am getting frustrated about the 15 player limit (any higher and the throughput just gets to high and the ping suffers).

I know DSL is in the country but does anyone know when, how or where it will become available to the gaming punter (again I must mention my friend with his DSL with 20 yoyo per month flat rate in Germany and that for the past two years).

Thanks in avance,

The Duke

You can expect DSL to be widely available at affordable prices by about 2006

Acrually, Eircom's DSL is available in some areas of Dublin, but at ridiculous prices...

If your living in Dublin there are other options. Such as wireless /cable if ur lucky enough to live in that area.

Otherwise ISDN is pretty good for gaming with a decent ISP.
The eircom dsl is apparently quite bad for gaming ping wise.

Also 2006 was just a madey uppy number. People have no idea when it will be affordable but just donet expect it to be any time soon.

Locking this - it's not really appropriate here, and any discussion on this matter should really go to the IrelandOFFline forum.
