Smart Telecom has become the latest broadband operator to launch 24mbs service,existing customers om 15mbs will be upgrade for free.
Now can anyone tell me why eircom can,t deliver those speeds currently on 2mbs waiting (oh why are we waiting) to be upgraded to the supersonic speed of 3mbs.Is there anyone in the ballina area in mayo being upgraded?:mad:

Because only eircom is available in their exchange. I am on the Palmerstown exchange. A few thousand people connected and it has yet to be unbundled and I will be fecked if I am paying BT or whatever the same money and not getting the same service.
