    Broadband: Download speed query

    I stand to be corrected but you say it "trundles" along at 50kps ( 5% of a 1MB connection) but I reckon it may be 50KBps which is approx (50x8 = 400 kbps) = 40% of a 1 MB connection. 1 Byte = 8 bits

    Pensions Question

    Also remember that the 26% rise only applies to the value of the fund at June 2003. Your weekly contributions after that date would be bought at increasing prices as the unit price was rising until June 2007. So the return for each subsequent contribution is less than the return on the previous...

    Limit for Claim on Accident / Employee Redundancy if Making a Claim

    As long as you are happy that you can show you used the same selection criteria for his redundancy as for other people I would go ahead with his redundancy. ( e.g. if other people are being left go on a LIFO basis then do the same in his section) You won't want him there anyway while a case is...

    The sat nav works straight out of the box, just plug into your ciggy lighter and go. I just got a basic TOM TOM One and I've never looked back.

    Prime Time - Boom to Bust - Preview

    Re: Prime Time - Boom to Bust People need to make up their own mind but I am more willing to listen to David and George because they don't work for financial institutions, estate agencies or property companies. Therefore they can give their true opinion. What is the point of RTE spinning out...

You are close to Appalachian (spelling?) mountains also which is one very beautiful area. Florida is only sunshine and beach that you can get anywhere in South Europe. Virginia has a...

    AIB Personal Loan

    Is the 2.7% interest amount just a notional reference on the statement every 3 mths or is it actaully paid as a DD on top of the monthly 277.14 ? ie did it actually come out of your other a/c as a payment? If its not paid then it seems to be a presentation issue. If it is paid on top of the...

    Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?

    This was a similar type incident as few years ago in the UK. The key is whether the price was so wrong that the customer should have known it was a genuine error. If they were economy class seats you would have a better argument. Argos makes no mistake with 49p TV OUT-LAW News...

    AIB Personal Loan

    I have to say this is very strange. I tried the link and it does tell it as you say. I can't see what the purpose of the calculator would be if it did not include all interest. Ask AIB what the €277.14 per month on the calculator represents. To me it is about right for a loan with about...
