    Now that this is finally being rolled out to schools I was wondering if anyone out there would be interest in sharing their experiences. Perhaps you could post details as follows:

    School Name:
    St. Brendan's Boys Primary School
    Location:
    Birr, Co. Offaly
    Online Since:
    6 Dec 2005
    Service Provider:
    BT
    No. Computers on network:
    24
    Installation Type (e.g. DSL, Wireless, Satellite):
    DSL
    Download Line Speed ([url]www.irishisptest.com):[/url]
    1.7Mbp/sec
    Upload Line Speed:
    212Kbps

    Thanks - it would be nice to see details and to see how the roll-out continues and whether the programme meets expectations.

    I'll get some details from my mother's school.

    Think they're on 2meg DSL, one PC hooked up at the moment. I'd have the school networked except it's a listed building and (afaik) I can't certify the work.

    school is john the baptist secrondary school hospital co.limerick
    (hospital is name of town)
    we got satellite broadband in october
    every room has own connection
    but only teachers and some ty's get to use it
    service is from ildana www.ildana.net
    just out of curiousity could our school get in trouble for not letting students use it
    come on its not like they did it for the teachers
    and were a new school with 900 students and all

    Oh umm, maybe since 2001/2 (Actual schools connection arrived in Sept '05)
    Service Provider:
    Eircom and Digiweb (Schools Project)
    No. Computers on network:
    I think about 100+ (One for each room, two computer rooms, staff room, offices etc)
    Installation Type (e.g. DSL, Wireless, Satellite):
    DSL and Wireless
    Download Line Speed ([url]www.irishisptest.com):[/url]
    DSL: 2Mb Metro: N/A
    Upload Line Speed:
    DSL: 128k Metro: N/A

    The only reason I haven't looked at the metro link or set it up as I'm far too lazy/busy to get around to it.
