Bitstream broadband upgrades on the way!

Eircom, the telco everyone loves to hate, has announced that they are upgrading their bitstream broadband products all round… unless you’re on a 1Mb deal, in which case it sucks to be you.

Press release

If you’re on a 2Mb product you’ll be going to 3Mb.
If you’re on 3Mb you’ll be going to 7.6Mb.
If you’re on 4Mb you’ll be going to 10Mb.
If you’re on 6Mb you’ll be going to 12Mb.
