What would anyone want broadband for anyway? Must people sue the web at work/college & probably wouldn't use enough at home to justify?

Some people in West Dublin (Tallaght to be precise) are part of a test group for NTL. theypay 25 Euro for always on Broadband. Not prohibitive by any measure..

I've had Broadband at home for a while now and is great, especially since I don't go to College and don't like using it that much in Work as it is prohibitive of what you can look at and especailly Download (XXX :p ) such as Software and Add ons.

Also using Kazaa Lite is a joy with the aul Broadband! (And Anti Virus software of course).

NTL, £15 a month for medium Broadband, buy a Cheap Full On Broadband modem and you get full on Broadband instead.

broadband is the bizness. i had the old 56k dial up before and watin for it to dial up and connect all the time was a pain

u download wat u like, wen u like. for the bigger files like movies, its essential. and u can also still surf away while downloadin

i say get it if u can

I have it here in Dungarvan (broadband) as it comes in with the cable Tv. its €36 ruro a month. The reason i was asking is (a) out of curiosity and (b) myself and the brother whos in England and has it too play a few games over the net, so anybody here who has it is welcome to join us. Last few weeks weve been playing Grand Prix Legends (although you probably need a wheel to play it well). Anybodys free to join us.
Tis good fun anyway :p :o
