Broadband in Ireland?Where is it???

Hi everyone

Just a thought about broadband,and its benefits.
I have not broadband yet here where i am in Ireland.
I have been waiting 3 years for eircom to connect me up,and i know theres alot of people out there still waiting for eircom to connect up to their home.
Why are they so slow in this country,and why can they only provide 1 mb broadband?Its like going back to the 1990 again.
I have to say i am very surprised that eircom keep any customers at all.
All they have to do is dig a trench and put a cable into the ground.And they will probably get 50-100 customers connected up for around 10 to 20 € a month.This i cant understand,and now they even run a campaign trying to get old customers back.
Well i will just say this i will never go back to eircom ever again.
That is because of the promises they have made in the last three years and never got back to us.
I work as a captain on a offshore ship moving and anchor oilrigs all over the world,and three years ago i was working down in Congo in Africa.
On the travel from the airport to the port the ship eas in we stop at a cafeteria in the middle of the jungle for a strecth of the legs and a cup of coffe.
And when i walked in to the place i came across a computer and a sign saying internetcafe.
I asked the man at the counter what speed he had on the broadband,and he answered me back 14 MB broadband.I nearly fell of my stool.Thinking back to Ireland where they can provide 1 mb broadband,but you cant even get it.
Welcome to the year 2009 Eircom and Ireland.

Communicating with mobile phones!!

Hi everyone

Just like to say that its really fantastic the way the world has gone when it comes to communicating.
20 years ago you could hardly get a phoneline connected to your house,but today you can get it from all kinds of sources,landline,satellite etc.
Also broadband options are all over now,but the sad thing is that not everyone can get it quite yet.
I know most goverments around the world is struggling to get the lines out to all homes in their country,but still many cant get it.
Well i guess most people cant get the landlines,but then again theres the option of broadband trough the mobilephone networks.
The mobilephone networks have come much furter then the actual landlines for the broadband,and will reach out to even the most isolated ares on the planet,so will we see this option more and more or will all at the end be connected trough landlines?
Imagine the world without internet and broadband.
What do you have left?
Well if we go back 20 years and see the development its quite obvious that it all started with the mobilephone.
I would rather have a mobilephone without internetconnection on it,rather then one with it,cause all i am going to do with it is call my family!!!
You can email your family from any computer these days,and also surf the web from any computer if they have internet connection,and you should be really unlucky not to find one nearby in the western world.
All i would like is a mobilephone with no internet,i am just going to call someone with it!!!
