lower DSL prices in Ireland?

Karlin reports that:

Eircom said today that it has applied to ComReg to further lower the price of its main broadband DSL product, from Euro 54.45 to Euro 39.99 monthly (both incl VAT). Good news; I can't imagine ComReg will refuse.

(That's from USD 70 to USD 50 at current exchange rates, for those on the other side of the Atlantic!). Good news indeed. Fingers crossed...

half-oops

I don't know what happened but the server rebooted overnight, and some services didn't come back up, in particular naming, so some machines might have failed to resolve this domain. All seems to be well now. It seems this has been one of those weeks...
