Hi there.

They seem to be in the same area we as South Africans are, except

1. They have choice, up to 2mb on bussiness accounts.
2. Didn't convert the prices because its really only relevant if you were earning rands in Ireland so effectively under a 100 euros for home owners.
3. I quote
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Download Cap
The amount of datain GB or Giga Bytes that you can download (receive) per month.
After you reach the cap, your <font color="red">ISP</font id="red"> reserve the right to charge you
for the excess data downloaded.
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
The cap is part of the ISP and not the line (one of the basis of the ICASA complaint.
4. Upload cap and download cap seperated.
5. Option of a fixed IP.
6. I quote
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">[5] The modems are lent for free to the customer for the duration of their contract,
however it remains the property of the ISP.
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
Dont think this is the best idea but it might prove usefull if the modem breaks.
7. Nowhere is there any mention of port shaping.

Although not the best I think most South Africans would jump with joy if we had these choices to choose from. At least we would have a say in how and where we want to use our ADSL connections.



Of course I don't look busy.....I did it right the first time.

These prices don't include telephone line rental either..

A bit silly having a upload cap cos when you hit it you can't download anymore.. or maybe that's the idea [B)] probly for P2P eh
