I was just wondering for those who have broadband how long have you had it as i am still waiting for it to come to my area i want to see how lucky some people have been
this means ireland only because people who lived in other countries and got it there first wouldnt show what irelands bb situation is like

December 2004.

That was when I first got BTi DSL.

But I was a beta tester for the orginial bitstream offering from eircom so I have absolutly when that was.

An engineer had to come to my house to install it!

On and off since 1998 I think. I'm fairly sure it was the very first round of tests for ADSL in the country.

June 2002 in Santry (I think (at least I was told) I was the first person on that exchange to get it).

It was €90+VAT for 512/128 per month with $hitty caps.

The year before, I was paying €35 per month for 256/128 in Madrid. Uncapped, though.

I first heard of Broadband in 1998, when I was doing my evening degree, and our comms lecturer (who worked in Eircom (then Telecom Eireann) was bragging about his download speeds - they were trialling it even then.
