Just pointing out a mistake I noticed. IBB's install cost varies. There are two prices which are determined by the distance they need to run a cable from the wireless ethernet box.

Anything over 10 metres requires PoE (Power over Ethernet) so there's additional equipment or something needed of which I'm not entirely certain. That scenario incurs the full 381 euro price.

If you don't require PoE, the price is 320.65 euro

Both Netsource and €ircon recently told me that the Balbriggan exchange is sheduled to be enabled between April and June, so with a bit of luck it may be done by the end of the year :rolleyes:

They have this up though.

I rang them this morning having been referred to em by a friend in work, and the girl was more than willing to sign me up, even after I told her it'd be for home use.

SME is netsource's adsl product, SOHO is netsource's radsl product. Both are classified as 'business' products but are freely available to residential customers too.

Personally I'm going to go with Netsource, seems like they've pretty much sorted their problems, and since there's no cap and fixed ip it's right up my alley.

Is the "Download Cap = No download Limit" a mistake? I understood there is a 6 Gb.mth cap (whether applied or not is another matter). I've been on hols and am looking for news on BB and FRIACO.

Thanks coyote Im contemplating going for Amocom at the moment but I'm a bit apprehensive about diving in at the deep end so to speak, I havent heard anything about it and I dont want to get stuck with a crappy ping on an expensive service for a year, as you can imagine.
