    Just wondering exactly how many Internet Service Providers is there in Ireland. I have to do a little research for an 'off' topic for a project i'm doing and no matter how much searching i do online I simply cannot find any info in this regard. I check the Internet Service Providers association website but cannot find the simple stat of how many registered ISP providers currently exist in Ireland.

    What do you think constitutes an ISP and what concept of "registered" do you have?

    There are companies with massive IP blocks that are not ISPs. There are actual ISPs operating off a /24 (or less) assigned to another ISP.

    This is related to the overall number of companies in Ireland that are providing internet services to the public.

    Some isp's are commercial providers only.
