    We don't know which ones are gamers and which ones are not, this prospective pack would be mainly for gamers.

    Edited the thread title with this in mind.

    I'd be interested but I'm locked into BT till next april. So I'll check my exchange next april and I'll call on you then if it's okay.

    I probably will - I am likely to change BB provider in the near future, and I've passed the magnet line checker.

    Can you give some kind of estimate on when Magnet are going to start rolling this out?

    That's good, to be honest it totally depends on how the trial goes. Its been tested in the lab and it looks well but we can't roll it out until it has been properly tested.

    Hi Rory. Yesterday i've ordered Magnets ADSL2+ 24 meg broadband, and really would be happy to try out your new service. Could you post more details about price, speeds and expected latency, please? Thank you.

    Can you send me a PM with your name and mobile number and I will see if you are eligible.

    Our first priority for new customers is to stabilise their lines, so sometimes we avoid trials on these lines.

    Dont know if theres any road-map at the moment for Sligo. The new pack is really aiming for lower latency, its in trialing at the moment so I have no idea of what the outcome will be at this moment.
