Ex-Suir Nore Areas
On August 1st 2002, Chorus resumed roll out of the Cablenet service in the ex-Suir Nore regions - Kilkenny, Clomnel, and Tipparary. Surprisingly for a Chorus initative, this is only available to cable customers, not MMDS. More information will be posted as it comes to hand.

The fate of the CMI CableNet service...new information comes to hand

CMI's CableNet service was launched to subscribers in Swords and Malahide in early 1999.
Initally it was to roll out to CMI franchises on a phased basis as their network was upgraded. After their takeover by Irish Multichannel, this seemed in disarray - the CableNet site was closed down and replaced with a message directing people to Unison. In 2001, the service itself was pulled completely. Chorus inform us that there is a possiblity the service will be relaunched at a future date, however the current rollout is concentrated on the new service available to ex-Suir Nore customers.

The following information is presented for archive purposes only:

"There were two levels of the service available to domestic customers:

CableNet Home - £30 a month
This offered 128Kbps downstream and 64Kbps upstream. In addition you got three e-mail addresses and 10MBof free webspace.

CableNet Plus - £45 a month.
For the more demanding customer this offered double the bandwidth - 256Kbps downstream and 128kbps upstream. You were also allowed to connect a network of 16 PCs to the modem. You got five e-mail addressses and you could use your free webspace for commercial purposes.

A third service, CableNet World, offered a 512Kbps service for business, but was a "pseudo leased-line" service and was charged at leased line rates, negotiatable with CMI.

Installation - Cost £150 which included the supply of a cable modem. You must also have paid £30 for the installation. The cable modem was manufactured by Nortel Networks.

System Requirements -
Pentium 100 processor or above.
60MB free hard disk space
16MB RAM (32MB or more recommended)
Ethernet card (10BaseT essential) "
