    BT are already in discussions with ISP's abut it sez the Reg

    BT have a current Wholesale price of £14.75 (around €21-22) as compared to our imminent €27 ....all prices ex VAT and not including Line rental of course for 50:1 contention. Note what happened the last time they droped prices over 6 months back on the Reg again

    ADSLguide also have the story .

    Meanwhile BT here are charging €47 for their 256k product. LLU costs them €15 or so or €8 or so depending. BT then mark that up by €32 or €39 all prices ex VAT naturally. The government gave them quite a lot of wonga to enable those exchanges, didn't they Bill, unlike Mammy at home who pays for it herself.

    Seems to me that a certain country needs a "pre-emptive" competition authority.

    "BT then mark that up by €32 or €39 all prices ex VAT naturally. "

    Most people in Europe can get retail DSL for less than BT's Irish markup (inc vat). All other (non-Irish) European service providers show VAT inclusive prices in their marketing material, as is required by law.

    Not to mention the fact that €20 a month gets one 8 M/bits a sec in Korea.
