Fault on UTV line

Our man in Havana

Who do I report a fault on my landline, It is with UTV for Line rental. I can't find any contact number for them for faults. I assume Eircom won't want to know me?

Thanks

Not surprising that UTV give out rubbish advice. If you ring eircom to report a fault, good luck in getting anyone to listen to you (let alone log the fault). They will simply tell you that it must be logged via UTV. Also UTV give BT's number as eircom's fault line (should make for an interesting conversation).

UTV don't actually have any telephony infrastructure of their own. The entire thing is subcontracted to cable and wireless so, I'm not sure that they would have any major ability to do anything other than email C&W !

Are there comreg rules on this at all?

Eircom won't speak to you at all if you phone them and will refer you straight back to UTV.

If you ring BT you'll more than likely get put on hold for 4 hours then laughed at.

I see their site says you must contact Eircom direct. :eek:

Anyways the fault fixed itself this morning just before I was about to ring UTV. What a stroke of luck.

It would seem logical that the first port of call would be UTV - presumably there is a structured way for them to liaise with Eircom.

Yes you contact UTV over their Tech Support line. They lodge the fault with Eircom and have access through some sort of web gateway to monitor any updates from Eircom. UTV tell Eircom, Eircom rarley do the job without a fight.

He who gets the line rental deals with the complaint....so if you pay UTV line-rental you report it to them and they have to deal with eircom etc.
