[ILUG] Eircom ADSL update

[ILUG] Eircom ADSL update

I pay AU$88 for that, except out supplier is Telstra in australia. and they 
tried to introduce a 3GB cap, but keep changing their minds. They better not 
cos I cant keep that low in a month.
I hope you guys get ADSL over there soon, cos I'm comming over for a while in 
Feb. But if Eircom is as bad as telstra, then I wouldt be getting ADSL while 
I am there.
