[COLUG] Business net access in Dublin

[Dave Maxwell]

I've got a client who's expanding his business in Dublin.  The office is in 
Tuller Park Road pretty close to the Target.

They've hit the wall with Business Class RoadRunner.   As soon as the kids get 
home and fire up their P2P clients and hit their MySpace pages, they become 
unable to reliably recieve faxes or make calls over their IP phones.

The problem is bad enough that I set up a Hylafax server for them at another 
site (fun fun in itself!).

They are currently mulling two options.   AT&T will sell them either three 
768K DSL lines or 1 T1 and a set of fixed IPs.  Without a doubt, the DSL 
lines will have waaaayyy more bandwidth but they absolutely need reliable IP 
telephony.  And it is a case of install 1 or the other.

Anybody familiar with the business class DSL service there?  Can you run IP 
telephony over it OK? Are there other options?

I really didn't have an answer for him but told him that apart from the 
obscene amount of money for the T1 that the DSL would be faster overall but 
that he may need the T1 to get closer to some sort of guarenteed latency for 
his fax/phones.

Thanks

Dave
