Bugger looks like we will be relying on Eircon now. I really hope this is not true.

And they said I was stupid to order an ISDN line when "cable is just around the corner"

NTL has denied the report, and the reg adds an interesting bit at the bottom:

Of course, we'd being doing a disservice if we didn't point out that the Independent is owned by Independent Newspapers, which also owns Chorus - a company offering exactly the same sort of service in Ireland, based on the same technology.
