leased line prices

m1ke

64k
128k
256k
512k
1mbit
2mbit

Any idea what the prices are ? All these providers don't like the idea of having the prices on their websites heh, ring them up type of bull****.

Anyway i'd appreciate anyone who knows them, if they could post them here.

2000 a year for a 64k,
20000 -21000 for a 2mb line

the reason they dont have prices is different clients get different prices, it goes up and down and you need to get a quote form a sales person,

allso outside dublin expect to pay more,
and all leased lines will take months to install

Gavin

5000 for 128 as well i think

Gav

esat that is

remember you have to get the line from eircum

then you need to get an ISP...

m1ke

ok so what happens ?

I get the line in from eircom... that's 2000 a year as you mentioned. Then I need an isp ? I can connect up to any isp, like say buyandsell who are a free isp, and have my leased line on their isp ?

/me is confused

Hecate

no, b&s would be a residential isp.

you'd have to talk to a business one like esat.net or eircom (i'm assuming they have an equivalent)

m1ke

rah, and i suppose they charge a hefty price too

Gladiator

no you dont need an eircom line,
Esat have a wireless service around dublin centre just for leased line, i know because thats what they have at work, thats why they pay esat about 4 grand less then they do eircom because eircom charge line rental

They all have different prices and different set ups.

Most have 1800 numbers so give them a call and see what they say.

Esat also have their own fibre network in a lot of areas - if it comes near you, you can get on it and cut Eircom out of the chain altogether. m1ke, I don't know pricing - although I'm working on it myself at the moment - but make sure you get the salesperson to tell you *everything* that's required and involved.

I'll give you an example of my own personal experience: I rang Esat about a 64k leased line last year. He told me the price, and that I wasn't near Esat fibre so I'd have to go to Eircom to have it installed. On top of that, he wouldn't quote me for connectivity to the Internet - most of their business must come from companies wanting to connect offices - and instead referred me to the ISP arm of Esat.

I can't remember exactly, but I think at the time is was ~£3000 for installation and ~£6000 rental for the line, and that didn't include Internet connectivity. Prices have come down a lot since then, but it's still vastly overpriced in Ireland, and it still adds up to a hell of a lot when you bring it all together.

Sorry I couldn't be more help, but if the local UU Net (WorldCom) rep actually finds the time to send out the pricing to a lowly little man like me anytime soon - as he promised last week - I'll pass on the information. I haven't talked to Esat, because... well, because they're scum.

ta for the information dahamsta, it sounds like a pricey business alright. I thought to myself, hell I shell out a lot on ISDN etc.. and ph charges, i'm online an awful lot ... so why not bite the bullet and get a leased line... looks a little out of reach atm, even a lowly 64k line !

Gladiator

well over eircoms network your out of luck, and adsl could be rollout be the time they install it

The problem with this is you will not be able to change service provider - apparently Esat do not need to share their infrastructure until they reach a certain market share (25%?). A friend got done over after installing something like 60 lines.
