DSL in ireland

THE DESTROYER

Does anybody out there know of plans for dsl to be brought to Ireland...

TwoShedsJackson

It's coming, on the other hand, so is Christmas. Given that BT in UK are only now starting to upgrade exchanges etc., and cable modems still aren't out yet here 9eh Amp ), I'd say another two years at the absolute minimum for DSL.

Even when it gets here, Eircom will probably want the soul of your first born in payment.

Amp's waiting for cable!!

The DSL rollout project is currently signing up Eircom employees only for home tests. The reasons for this are something to do with the employees contractual agreement. (So they can't tell anybody how good it is until Eircom's supply of 'Hi-Speed' Terminal Adapters is used up!).

Tried to get on it, but I'm not an employee of Da Big Evil Company

"Don't ask me where I heard this all, take it with a pinch of salt, This is all hearsay, and I will not stand by these words in a court of law"

(How was that for a disclaimer? IT'S ALL TRUE!)

DSL will be years rolling out into Ireland.

This is all part of a very large international conspiracy, which is purported by a group of top Quake players.

They know that when we get high speed lines rolled out to one and all, that no foreign server will be safe.

They live in fear of equal ping times with Irish players.

Be afraid..... Be very afraid.

Everything doesn't revolve around Quake.

No, it doesn't. Close this thread.

Yes, and i'm from that land of "a group of top Quake players" (New Zealand) and we already have 'DSL we did trials, and they were good, and then DSL was widely available, and it was good, and cable was available, and it was good. so we said, let not this goodness be available to the Irish, that they not layeth the smack down upon us.

what i don't get is why they need trials over here when they've already had them in both america and new zealand, (and i'm sure a few other places too) why don't they just bring the technology out already, we know it works, and that it's good.

It's about training their staff I'd say, and who knows how those faster than fast pipes are affected by damp, peaty soil or even the stoney grey soil that burgled the bank of my youth?

WUSSAT? CHICKENS YOU SAY??

did someone says eircom and training in the same sentence? dude!

only real way to get a decent ping outside Ireland is to
1. Go to college forever, one of the Heanet connect colleges or one of the Northern ones.
or
2. Work for an ISP and hope that they don't have a dirty port blocking firewall.
or
Secert option number 3
run cable from either of the above into your gaff and hope no one finds out .

As for pings hehe, 30 ping to bw and 30 ping 30 ign and a 10 ping to games1. .

Hi-speed aka as ISDN is just another ploy by Eircom to make more money for nothing.

Don't hold your breaths for any super new fast connections any time soon.

Heh, yeh, back in nz, we have this l33t gaming isp (www.paradise.net.nz) and they host dozens of servrers, and the server op at the isp lives underneath the isp, and has a 100Mbit connection to the servers, switched, he runs round with like, a ping of 7.... heheh i had to put up with a disgusting ping of 20.

Bah
Damn the UK with their half decent ISPs
