    All this subsidised fibre will be wasted because Eircom will ... charge e90 for a 1024k link to the cutomer. What ISP is going to bother linking up the fiber if the minimum they can charge a customer is e91 (to make _a_ profit). Broadband has only come alive as the price has hit e50. Now I want to see competition pushing that price down and the bandwidth up.

    When do eircom have to review their wholesale pricing?

    No. ESAT rolled out their own fibre, subsidised by the Government to the tune of IEP10m or so . They have fibre into each Eircom regional pop .....which is where the initial wholesale breakout is done.....except for one I think, Priory Park in Dublin. 10 out of 11 so. There was a delay in Portlaoise at some point too.

    Therefore they have no need for the ATM slab of backhaul and would simply need a virtual 2Mb pipe in the Regional POP to which Eircom presents 'up to 192' Virtual RADSL ports of 512k .
    I wasn't talking about Esat. I was talking about metro fibre rings running right up to Eircom exchanges. These can't be used to link to existing DSLAMs because the bitstream charge includes transport from the exchange to a regional POP bypassing the fibre ring outside the exchange.
