    Bugger looks like we will be relying on Eircon now. I really hope this is not true.

    Jaysus ****ing wept. I was so looking forward to hooking up with ntl and calling eircon and telling them where to put there 'services'.
    Is there no end to the consumer raping?

    <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">The news comes as Eircom tests its DSL technology which will allow similar services.</font>

    /me smells freshly dropped ****.
    Test my ****ing ass. What are they gonna do, exclaim "Wow! We have done it Watson! DSL! Its ALIVE!!" ??!!?

    We know it works. Just install it goddamn it.

    And they said I was stupid to order an ISDN line when "cable is just around the corner"

    face it lads, ISDN is the only way you will be getting an lpb connect any time soon.

    NTL has denied the report, and the reg adds an interesting bit at the bottom:

    Of course, we'd being doing a disservice if we didn't point out that the Independent is owned by Independent Newspapers, which also owns Chorus - a company offering exactly the same sort of service in Ireland, based on the same technology.

    Also, on the Irish Times:
