    Ok,

    Previous experience of UTVip is that if you ask for something on this board somebody pops up and says:

    "Oh, would you like that?"

    And you say:

    "Yes Please"

    And they say:

    "Well we'll see what we can do by next friday"...and have it done by Tuesday...

    So I figured it would be worth asking?

    certainily worth a try .... but you migh be stretching them just a wee bit ... you might be better asking Eircom/Esat Bt for a reasonable wholesale bitstream offering ... me thinks you will have less luck with them ...

    couldn't they launch it before 'friaco', undercutting everyone else, get a large customer base (lose money), in the anticipation of making money once friaco arrives ... :confused:
    we need some aggression :cool: :mad: :rolleyes:

    They could, but theres no guarentee that FRIACO will happen anytime soon.

    AFAIK Clicksilver is a dsl offering tho. If it is then UTV cant offer it because of the high wholesale price that eircom have set.

    Ah Good ol €ircom. We'll keep you in the dark ages by not offering anything remotely value oriented and ensure no one else can either, in short "You're f*cked"

    Makes perfect business sense, of course, given their dominant position.
