Irish bandwidth restrictions

[Bifta]

If you think you've got a bad deal from NTL, have a look at the bandwidth restrictions placed on each ADSL provider in Ireland:

I was tempted to move over the border as my g/f's going for a job in Letterkenny, until I saw this.

for entry and medium level BB products, i think those caps are reasonable, if you download more than 8gb per month i would classify that as high level usage. have you got any figures for the highest level products?

Im pretty sure that is literally ALL of the Irish ADSL suppliers, to get a higher level product you have to go for a business connection which incurs a higher cost.

What, so the jackboot of British imperialism is acceptable so long as it gives you cheap broadband?

Absolutely! I'll take full advantage of Johnny's free health care too!

But I digress, I didn't realise until I checked this morning just how backwards Ireland are in regards to broadband, they don't expect any action regarding these restrictions to take place for at least another year or so.

Yeah it is the same around the world too. Australia and New Zealand look like lovely places to move to, but the broadband there is completely prehistoric.
