Keep scrolling down, there are two new maps below those 3.

PiE

Er... no there's not...

MarVeL

Mmm... yes there are. ESB City Centre Transmitter - Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin 2 followed by one map and then Guinness Transmitter (now there's a wonderful concept that would insure the success of any broadband venture!) - City Centre - COMING SOON followed by another map. They are there, honest :-)

PiE

Still showing just the 3 maps for me...

Already shift-reloaded and I aint using a proxy... afaik ando is on UTV too, why can't we see it

Yes there are. Do a Shift-Reload on the page, or bypass your ISPs proxy server.

I see 5 maps on the page linked below, including the "ESB City Centre Transmitter, Fitzwilliam St" and "Guinness Transmitter - coming soon"

theciscokid

gah, im just beside portobello bridge, well 5 mins walk,

fingers crossed

congrats irishbroadband , you did your homework on the placement of those transmitters

theciscokid

if you really want to hammer home your customer satisfaction,

you could give people the freedom they deserve

i.e. scrap that bloody year contract

no - its more like Areas-of-Dublin-not-obstructed-by-Trees-or-Buildings Broadband

Dustaz

Before anyone accuses this thread of pimping..


Had a good hard long think about this and while i wish it was part of the existing thread (*me stares at ray*) its probably fair enough theres a new thread for this.


If eircom did something similar there would be threads like this, plus ibb seems to be the cheapest form of broadband in dublin.

MDR

I thought it was only pimping when I stood to gain from it ?

gonna have to buy me a red hat with peacock feather in it,
change my name to bubba and get me some bitches ... ...

Chaz

Mmmm - seems plenty pimping here :-)

*Chaz cant remeber the nick of the person he met today from boards at 10h20 LOS*

DeVore

yes, would have preferred it in the Broadband forum tbh. Far far too many telcos buzzing this forum ...


DeV.

Thorbar

Any plans to cover the area around Skerries town?

kamobe

Ah man, they're just teasing me at this stage. Cabra! So close....

The Clown Man

Oh thank god. An alternative at last.

Templebar coverage - Guinness one - when precisely is "soon?"

nxbyveromdwjpg

and i've been told theyve highered their transmittor on the RTE tower (so if you failed before, you could now pass)


(bit late for me now though as im already with leap!:mad: )

MDR

(bit late for me now though as im already with leap! )

are you locked into a contact with leap or something ...
can you not just change provider ?

Serbian

I'm sure, like with Irish Broadband, you are locked into a one year contract with Leap.

cgarvey

Or any broadband provider, I thought? People have rumoured that that wasn't the case, but I haven't seen proof yet.

.cg

BKtje

Leap has a year contract.

SkepticOne

IrishWisp is the only one I know of with no lock-in contract.

god, i hate people like him. he either had a LOS test and failed, or else is just too scabby/poor/inbred to pay €48.40 per month

What are you on about? He's completely right about the Wireless Broadband. It's very selective because of the limitations on the technology they use.

Jaysus an IBB fanboi, what next?

Dustaz

Marclar, Any more of that and therell be no Ireland Offline forum for you, mmk?

MDR

scabby/poor/inbred to pay €48.40

€48.40 is quite a bit of money for most us,
and peeps wonder how we ended up with 7% inflation ...:rolleyes:

nxbyveromdwjpg

yea, locked into a 12 month contract

poxy but what can ya do... staying with eircom dial-up a minute longer was simply not an option and when i failed my LOS for them IBB never told me theyd any plans to higher their transmittor :mad:


(although its worth mentioning that besides the price leap has been a great service so far)

Let's not forget the installation fee.

Woden

hmm very happy with that guiness transmitter, heading away for the summer so no point in getting into a contract til i get back, thats some hefty installation few, thats the guts of a new computer there.

Señor Juárez

i know €48.40 is quite a bit on money...

BUT their service is so much more value compared to eircom's pathetic offering...

a bit of real competition in the market, thats really what we needed, and now here it is

MagicBusDriver

Irish braodbands prices are better than most certainly Leap ,Eircom and ESATBT and they have higher speed options than NTL or any UK BT DSL ISP.

€48 is good value for broadband. I would take Irish broadband long before I would consider a FRIACO option.

eth0_

Has anyone heard any plans for IBB type services to extend outside of Dublin?

Horsefumbler

how about extending the BB service to leixlip its right beside dublin , when is gonna happen wah wah wah

milltown

I was onto them asking about Lucan horse. The response was that there isn't a hope of the Ballycoolin transmitter reaching this far (strictly for DNS it seems) but they are looking for sites to cover Lucan and surrounds. Also said it's at least three months down the road though, unfortunately.

MarVeL

I'm waiting for a (reasonable i.e.not Eircom) solution for Lucan as well. IBB would be very nice the only trouble is I can't think where they could beam from. There's nothing really high enough that I can think of

andrew163

please sir, may we 'ave some more?
