    On a corpoate level, a T1 costs you tens of thousands of pounds in line rental a year. If some guy has a server on a T1 you can be reasonably sure that its a dedicated internet link in his place of work. As far as I remember, a T1 gives you about 1Mbit of bandwidth so with that in mind, I'd hang around for cable access.

    The optic cable is now being laid on the N19 between Galway and Limerick by Ocean. I believe they are nearly finished the Galway - Ennis stretch already.
