    It's the same price for both 512 and 256, and there's no guarantees on either of those speeds...

    If you're close enough to your local exchange/are fortunate enough to have a decent line you'll get connected at about 512. If you're farther away from the exchange/ have a crappy line, you'll get connected at roughly 256 :)

    The same information is presented for domestic customers (with VAT inclusive prices) elsewhere on the website. Because of session id it is not possible to link. You can navigate to it:

    1. www.eircom.ie
    2. Click on "At Home"
    3. Select "Products and Services/eircom I-Stream"

    This is good news all the same. It should work out at 55 euro a month then and thats a lot more manageable than the 100 odd they were charging. Think its time i moved to Braodband:cool:
