No you need an eircom line, or Magnet will order one for you (and charge you so it's the same difference)

For the current 2Mb packages you continue to pay Eircom line rental (as per any other bitstream reseller) for 4 or 8Mb Magnet will unbundle the line but that requires them having equiptment in your exchange.

So what you get depends on their definition of 'coming to your area'

In any case you need to start with an Eircon line.
Suggest you order it yourself rather than letting Magnet do it.
No point in broadcasting to Eircom that you're going to defect.
They may install faster if they think you might stay with them.
