    Why do you think that is? Seems to be a bit of a pattern. I think I'll buy some Eircom shares wink.gif

    I got promo mail from formus asking if my company was interested in broadband, but they were asking ridculas prices! Plus they had the added expense of setting up ethernet recievers (same as mobile phone masts).

    They were never going to make inroads into a market for which a. their is no real demand and b. is already catered for by land line ISDN.

    The service was useless to anyone unless you ran a multi-national from a dingy in mid-atlantic.
