Zone uses a sattelite backlink. You guessed it, around 1300ms latency.
That it's called "broadband" should be against the law - you can barely browse the net on that. Games, most email software, fair few web browsers, ALL VPN clients I have used in the past will not function on that kind of link.
I guess if all you want is... movies... then sure zone might fit the bucket.

The laughable DSL available thanks to Eircom's shoddy cabling can barely be called broadband as it is!
