    Ok, after putting up with €ircon for a long time i finally took the plunge and got NTL to the house, replacing ADSL Multi(€139 per month), compared to €40 per month NO CAP and Free Cable Modem.

    To say im pleased is an understatement, the Engineers (Neil + his sidekick, sry cant remember his name) came out and fitted me for Cable in 20 mins, YES i said 20 Mins!! 1 hole drilled and hey presto i have Cable, 10 mins later and i have sorted out my home network 4 pc's and a server. Is it Fast yah want to know see below,

    Ok now i have to say that they are doing these installations in Lucan only for the moment, seemingly because this area has a very high % of computer users per capita. amongst other things.

    and after a while they will do other areas, see http://www.ntl.com/locales/ie/en/athome/internet_cable.html

    And make your mind up, now people who know me will know im VERY picky about my Net access, but i have to be honest, i am VERY pleased with this service.

    Well done to Matt and Emma.
