[ILUG] internet access solutions?

[Greg Ashe]

Awaiting a quote from Esat on this currently - watch this space...

Got one from Eircom a while ago for leased line and it was circa £5k.

There are 2 components to consider - leased line charge payable to Telco 
and bandwidth charge payable to ISP. The latter is location independent 
whereas the former is definitely NOT!

Chorus offer a solution called Powernet which is via MMDS - not guaranteed 
bandwidth but relatively cheap. £80/£160 per month always on (but not 
suitable for running a web server)
