TOPPSI – Connect-Ireland began life as the TOPPSI BBS in 1989.
TOPPSI (To Operate by Providing People with Services and Information) was launched officially by Brian Lenihan, Tanaiste, in 1990.
TOPPSI was responsible for creating the first community network in Ireland and indeed Europe. By providing cost effective communications, TOPPSI successfully introduced the concepts we all now use daily to a wider audience. TOPPSI had a number of innovations, including the first public access Internet mail service, links with numerous international organisations, online databases and online file distribution totalling 17gb. We had the most powerful PC in the country, a 486 with 256 mb of ram and a 1gb hdd which we had to import from the US at a cost then of over 1,200 punts
Connect.ie began operations as an ISP in January 1995. Connect.ie has the priorities of: Quality communication services at cost effective prices.
Our operations drove competitor prices down from 180.00 to 30.00
