i know there have been a lot of developments on the availability of broadband in ireland lately, and there have been some good value packages too for the first time in history. for gamers, esat has been the most promising, but is not very widely available. now all of a sudden, iol, using esat broadband are promising low ping, affordable dsl... widely available.



if you check http://register.iol.ie/broadband/signup.html put in your phone number, and theres a good chance that it will say you are eligible for broadband in mid may. lots of people who had been told that there were no plans to upgrade their exchange by esat are now being told that they can get broadband. a 5gb download cap per month, which is a lot better than eircom's miserable allowance, and theres a good chance it will give the low ping that esat 512k and residential 256k dsl gives.

Yar, it said it was available for me. Though, it says you can only have 1 pc connected.
They should offer some better packages, like 1mbit, no cap + multi pc. Else it's of no use to me.
