    Esat BT has described Eircom's new wholesale price for DSL as positive, with both firms now set to roll out retail services at dramatically lower prices.

    ............

    East BT, meanwhile, said it is happy with the prices. "At EUR27, it's a positive development and it's something we certainly think we can work with," said Una McGirr, communications director for Esat BT. McGirr said that Esat BT was "crunching the numbers" to come up with a proposed retail price for its own service, and it is expected that Esat BT's new product will be launched in late spring or early summer at "competitive" prices.

    Things ceratinly seem to be getting somewhere, hopefully UTV will also enter the market.

    Also I'd say this will be the death of LLU, unfortunately.

    Hi

    I called UTV yesterday and due to the fact they were moving offices my call was lost and transferred to reception via call answering , I asked for Info on DSL and was put through to a guy who sounded like he was in a management role , I asked him were they going to introduce a DSL product , His reply is that they have been given wholesale prices from eircom and it was now in the "Product Development Stage"

    Hope it comes through as they are a pretty decent bunch !

    eh .... I will file this under 'I will belive it when I see it' ...
    The teleco industry sometimes have very odd perceptions of what "competitive" means
