    apparently the ol' twisted pair is still good enough in Longford

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

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    I work from home. I could post a long rant on why fast, affordable Internet access should be viewed as a right and not just an aspiration, but I don't have the energy.

    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 ) 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.
    I'd rather die laughing than trying!

    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
