Comments on: Still no broadband Eamon! http://www.shane-ross.ie/archives/324/still-no-broadband-eamon/ Independent TD Shane Ross Sat, 29 Jan 2011 11:53:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Bill Bailey http://www.shane-ross.ie/archives/324/still-no-broadband-eamon/#comment-2096 Bill Bailey Thu, 05 Jun 2008 20:33:15 +0000 http://www.shane-ross.ie/archives/324/still-no-broadband-eamon/#comment-2096 I suspect that the minister is being creative with his figures. It could well be that a large percentage of the population are connected to broadband enabled exchanges but too far away to actual receive the service. It seems also that Eircom are now concentrating more on upgrade the speed for those who have broadband rather than on providing connections for those who have nothing. So Ireland will be a two tier society when it comes to telecomms - you either have 6 MB connection or dial up. I suspect that the minister is being creative with his figures.
