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.
