    Got a letter in the post this morning saying my driving test has been canceled until further notice,because eircom have ripped the town up upgrading the broadband lines....

    Im in Newcastle West,and what exactly are Eircom doing?

    Hearing there putting fibre optic cables down,but arent they hella expensive?

    If 8/16mb speeds where coming in the next year I wouldnt be so pissed,but I know they arent,f1cking joke of a company...

    Eircom are doing nothing, Shannon Broadband are responsible for that Bob the Builder job.

    and for full details, see here http://www.shannonbroadband.com/FibreRoutes/NewcastleWestFibreRoute/
    What will all this mean for you? well, other than the inconvenience to you, nothing actually.
