I'd still be much more interested in the outgoing bandwidth.. it's
all fine and dandy to give everyone 45Mb, but Esat's line out of Ireland
was 45Mb last I heard, and that's the biggest ISP in the country...

Assuming they sell it to 10% of the current internet population in Ireland (150K
last I heard), that's 15,000 people with the ability to download 45Mb... sounds
a bit like all these cable companies in the UK where they say "You can have 2Mb
download, but we only have 2Mb total bandwidth, so tough"...
