    I was wondering has any body else heard the new Eircom ADSL radio adds ?

    On the add it mentions that the i-stream is great for business as it is fixed cost service.

    But if you exceed the BW limit do you not have to pay extra ?


    Does anybody want to complain the Advertising Standards Agency ?

    The 'business' multiuser version of istream is capped at 1MBit and has no download restrictions.

    I find it amusing, really i do. you ask anybody with adsl and they will tell you its a home interent service, not a bussiness service, yet eircom keeps screaming at us that its a bussiness only service and that home user wont have demand for it.

    in away they are right, in the laws of economics, demand is directly related to prices.

    i mentioned eircom to a cousin in holland or somewere around there, he told me that he shares a 1mb adsl line with 5 other people in this building/house he pays like a fiver a month.

    Edit, Does anybody know how much of this 100 million investment when into adds, ive never seen so many adds, for a service which they cant provide to anybody anywere at any price.

    Dude, don't go using Holland as an example. I read in the paper today that the prostitutes have formed a union, so quite clearly the entire country is absolutely off their collective rocker ;)

    Regarding the i-Stream advetisements they don't contravene any trade description acts because they have that whisper at the end:-
    "i-stream is subject to certain conditions" in a "cheques will not be honoured" simpsons kind of way.
    If you strain really hard you'll hear the even lower voice:-
    "i-stream is total bollox" but I could be wrong. Wasn't listening that hard, just assumed.
