Eircom announce 25% drop in Wholesale RADSL price

spongebob

Which should mean a 25% price drop from ALL retail variants such as IOL Netsource UTV and Eircom Retail . This is allegedly effective 1st March . Story Here

No news on install costs and so on.

So that means a 7 euro drop from UTV and ESAT/IOLBB?, because the drop is from 27 to 20 so surely that is all the resellers will be able to drop?.

Except that my cap says 0.0GB and has said that for the last half a month, if it had said 7.5GB I would have stoped downloading right then and there.

If they impose a cap ComReg should enforce the implementation of a monitoring system so that customers can know, accurately and at any time, how much they've transferred/how close they are to the cap limit.

If the connection is shared between several people in the house, monitoring the bandwidth is damn hard.

That's you're problem, not theirs - they're pretty up front about not supporting multiple connections.

When you get a phone bill, you don't know how much it's going to be for until you get it. It's your responsilility to keep tabs on your usage (even if you've got several people in the house using the phone. It's not obvious to me why DSL should be any different.

Have any of the others made public the drop in their prices?
I saw clicksilver was dropped to 38ish a month. Any info on what iol or ns are doing?
