Hi Steve;
I'm exactly in the same situation. I've to go to Coventry to configured a
WAN network for my company. The leased line that we are using is a 64Kb,
leased from Eircom and it costs 10K per year. 128kb costs about 16k per
year, so your friend will have to pay a small fortune for a 156kb. Regards,
Paco.

Hi,
	A friend of mine is planning on getting a 256k leased line to his
buisness. I was just wondering if any of ye have and experience with the
various companies that offer this in ireland. Uunet is one particular name
that springs to mind (complete with drooling at the thought of the
1000Mbps+ transatlantic pipeline -). Does anyone have any advice? Also
some ballpark figures for everything from 64k to 256k would be cool too.
Ta.

Steve

 Sounds like you are getting ripped off. We have a 2MB line for
~15k/year...

That sounds insanely low by Irish standards!  Where'd you get it?

 Just lucky that Eircom had installed a 2mb fixed line, instead of the 2mb
variable line previously. They'll get around to changing it to a .5mb line
one of the days though :(

As you said - you're just lucky and if Eircom ever cop...

Our average price for a 64k line works out at about 6k I think (it depends 
on location a lot though and that may include a basic router).   I'm 
guessing that a 2MB line would work out at around 40k, but I've no idea 
what the cost of the actual data circuit would be, and that'd be the 
biggest variable in the loop.

Subject: [ILUG-Social] DIY DSL :)

The Register has a story on a community in Laramie, Wyoming in the US
who got sick of sub-standard DSL offerings from the telcos and put
together their own network.   Sounds like a good idea here, with no end
to the crap telco offerings in sight.
