I'm not sure about my sums here but is this right ?

Taking a perhaps ambitious 5KB/s connection speed.

For 1 cent a minute off peak access:


c/min       Mins      KB/sec                           MB/mins      Cost     

1              60        5                              17.58     &#8364; 0.60            

1              300       5                              87.89     &#8364; 3.00            

1              9000      5                              2,636.72  &#8364; 90.00

Prices for 1 hour, 5 hours, one month @5 hours aday and how 
much time you would have to spend on line to cost the same as 
ADSL from esat/eircom.

            

For 150 hours off peak for &#8364;30:

 

0.3333     60           5                              17.58     &#8364; 0.20

0.3333     300          5                              87.89     &#8364; 1.00

0.3333     10800        5                              3,164.06  &#8364; 36.00    

0.3333     32400        5                              9492.18    &#8364;108.00 

 

Comparing those prices against UTV's &#8364;30 offering.
