    Has anyone heard if Chorus, in Cork, (formerly Cork Multi Channel) are making any progress with the roll out of their cable modem service? I called them the other day and they gave the usual "ready in 2 to 3 months" speech...

    As far as I can gather Chorus don't seem to be in a hurry to rollout any services - they still can't provide a proper TV service, so what can you expect
