You might be interested to know that I now have broadband. Digiweb came on cue at 8am on Friday and the job was done by 11am. The service is excellent and works a treat. Work was carried out neatly without fuss. A small "box" on the chimney is the only visible sign. So far...... 36 hours later.... I can recommend Digiweb highly. It is fast and available in most cities and towns. Well worth considering especially if you are not on a broadband enabled telephone exchange..

My quota is 8GB per month. Not bad I's say. See
wireless.digiweb.ie/
for full details and options.

Thats pretty good for a quota!
You know, you could use an IP Ghoster, and they won't be able to track your computers IP address all the time, thus you could download say 12GB of data, but might only be recorded for say 2GB... It works! I know a chap who did it and got these figures I just mentioned here on Esat BT's broadband...
Just keep it under your hat!

Do they tell you each month how much you downloaded? I've only been on for two days so far.
I installed a wireless network in the house as well so I can use the lap top anywhere in the house I like. We have 4 computers altogether in the house and Digiweb will allow up to three to be connected to the Broadband connection. They supplied a 4 way router. I replaced it with a combo wireless one and got a wireless card for my computer. later I will add my wifes computer and the kids one too.
On another topic. I have had some problems alligning my LX 90. I level it point it North... and do two star allign. Usually it is a a little off.... say I then do select stars and seleect Sirius it might be out of the field of view. I am using GPS and I am sure the date time daylight saving etc are correct. The most likely culpet is not having the entire scope perfectly level. Is the system that critical? What do you thing?
When I manually locate an object the tracking is perfect.

You should see it in your bill/statement when its issued. As for the 4 computers sharing the one broadband connection, an average home use will find it hard to fill their 8GB quota! Unless, like me, you like your movies and mp3's on Bearshare!
But, unfortunately, there's no sign of broadband for me at all yet...
