And if so what is the verdict?It certainly looks good but before i shell out €39.99 i want the opinion from several people who might have or have had this,and is it really worth it if you have Broadband (im on the standard 512K) http://www.onspeed.com/en/

Wait 2 weeks and you should be on more than that and it won't cost you anything ...

What he is saying is that all the 512kb broadband lines are going to be upgraded to 1 megabyte lines,
as in Eircom, Esat, Utv Etc will double their speed for free.
Happy days

Here's a review of a similar service: http://dansdata.com/propel.htm . Unless you have very specific requirements it won't do you any good on broadband.

Eircom's upgrading it's 512kbit customers to 1mbit or 2mbit depending on their package (the most basic one goes to 1mbit). Certainly not 1megabyte/s (8mbits/s). You'll have to wait for smart for that...)
