    So people.... anyone has any recent news about ESB broadband ?

    I've heard they wouldn't sell broadband directly to customers but they would sell the lines to providers which would then sell to us.

    Anyone knows about any roll out date ?

    Thanks

    i'd say after christmas, probably closer to februrary would be the earliest we could posssibly hope for. I know i might change.

    Bring on the highspeed!

    northern loop due to go live by year end or jan at latest very few pops from carrick on shannon to letterkenny (3 or 4 i think manorhamilton.letterkenny and buncrana) southern loop is already lit an apparently has a couple of major customers (have you noticed the difference i don't see isps flocking to use the esb network) don't hold your breath for this to make any difference at all the roll out will be driven by eircom (and wireless possibly if they get their act together (digiweb i'm talking to you))
    whatever happoend to rthe western digital corridor anyway still unlit i beleive.

    i can't say i noticed any difference in my connection in the last few months, except taht recently its gotten a lot worse. Maybe my isp hasn;'t bought any more bandwidth. Ah well, hopefully that'll change soon.

    ESB has a wholesale backbone product. New pricing announced.

    See http://www.enn.ie/frontpage/news-9384976.html

    It is definitely not an end-user offering with prices between €50K and €400K per anum!
