Doubt that's what you're talking about since it's just a protocol and secondary to the actual broadband.
The other is Refractive Index Profiling which is used when determining the propagation properties in a fibre core or in an optical waveguide.
It essentially lets you know how effective a fibre cable is.
Really don't know how any of this applies to a toby home user looking for broadband. It's relevant to the companies laying the cable though.
If you want broadband without a fixed line you'll need to get in touch with a wireless broadband supplier.
Not familiar with the companies in Ireland but an example of such a company in the UK would be Netvigator.
Wave broadband is wireless though as it uses radio waves as opposed to cable. Perhaps it simply uses the protocol RIP instead of TCP/IP.
i just about know how to turn on my PC Peadar :D Here is the bad boy i was thinking of gettingQuote:

Ripwave is a proprietary wireless product that apparently doesn't need LoS (Line of Sight) to operate. Since it's wireless, no, it doesn't need a landline.

They're offering Download speed of 512 Kbps and an upload speed 128 Kbps.Quote:

I think eircom are offering something similar on their ADSL contracts but you could get 1Mb download speeds.
Irish Broadband don't mention montly download/upload quotas.
All I'll say anyone considering broadband is, ask about security.
You could leave yourself very exposed.
This being the same RIP that I was talking about before.Quote:

I like the sound of their product, Breeze 1MB Lite.
