[ILUG] No Limits ? - No Service !

[Keith Clancy]

Point to note there, i don't even use no-limits .. sitting in front of a
machine for 6 hours a day doesn't really inspire me to use another one when
i get home till all hours in the morning, you never know .. with no-limits
gone Leaving Cert results might get a bit better ;P

Could it be that the nice people in ESAT are actually trying to get all
these people who spend more than three hours a night on the internet to go
out and get a social life...
Nooooo........

Sorry, couldn't resist...

I let everyone setup wireless lan and we'll create our own cellular data
network ! :P ..
than get someone to throw a T-hub onto a co-located box somewhere ... maybe
in temple bar ;p
SSH over wireless at 11Mbps... *drool*

It'll happen !!

As I understand it Esat's break-even point on No Limits, given how 
Eircom charge them, is something like three off-peak hours per day. If a 
user is online on average more than that every day every month, Esat are 
losing money.

Personally I could live with a three hour per day limit until such time 
as the ODTR beats the living daylights out of Eircom while repeating the 
phrase "We are not a 3rd world country". And while we're at it, where's 
my fiber-to-the-doorstep? If we're tearing up the streets for Luas, 
can't we do it for something useful too?
