So everyone is happy then are they?

   That coverage map is hilarious.
   looks like someone said “oh we’ve got a transmitter there, lets get out the compass and draw a coverage circle around it. It does say 20mile radius on the box afterall”
   That map takes no account that half of Kerry is covered in mountains which happen to be very effective at blocking wireless signals. The only way you’d get coverage circles like that is if you had a satelite or highaltitude blimp tethered to the top of Mt. Brandon.
   hahahhahahah

   good point – Kerry Broadband http://www.kerrybroadband.ie also covers Tralee and their maps do show how mountains get in the way.
   But even if you do take account of terrain, there are going to be a lot of houses who don’t have line-of-sight

   Joe, glad to see you’ve joined the neo-punk revolution. Go on show us all the gritty side of life. Not everyones happy!!! Oh. by the way fianna fail actually increased the bus pass age from 65 to 66 but there statistics e.g. on q&a are always never the full statistics. It’s mad how they get away with it. I remember one night years ago one of them blatently lied and Vincent Browne took out the Amsterdamn treaty and quoted it exposing them there and then on the spot hilarius. If you could get your hands on that now there would be a boon.
