IrelandOffline was formed by a group of angry & concerned consumers after the cessation of the ESat Fusion (now BT Ireland) product “Surf No Limits”. It turns out there were limits and ~2,000 users were cut off from the service.

Since then, IrelandOffline has grown to a membership of around 2,000 consumers and small businesses from all walks of life. Its remit is to campaign for affordable, unmetered and broadband Internet access for all who wish to avail of it, in Ireland.

IrelandOffline is a voluntary group of headed by a hard working committee elected each year at their AGM. Membership is by means of joining a low-volume, private, mailing list.

Campaigning is typically achieved by entering into dialogue with the various players in the broadband/dial-up Internet provision. IrelandOffline has grown to be a widely acknowledged consumer representation group, and main stream media is now giving increasing cover to the dismal level of Internet access in Ireland.

IrelandOffline also provide a forum which offers advice to new & existing users, and gives members and non-members the chance to air opinion on related issues.
