I have broadband but the service is marginal, probably because of my distance from the exchange. However, I have traced the line from my house to the exchange and its condition is shocking - poles swamped in ivy, lines sagging across fields and in one case tied to a tree with a bit of string, bits of equipment hangong for dear life to some poles. That can't help! It should be noted that Eircom's network was built with our taxes and we pay for it again with line rental. And they still can't maintain it in a decent state!

I live in Connecticut, and I really haven't seen a lot of tv coverage of late, but the ads are the best. Funny as all hell. I personally would like Molloy to win, seems to have a few good ideas from what I've been hearing. I should do a little more research.

That's what well-established brands do well. Products or services get less attention than media posturing because that posturing directly affects share value.
