Irish Telephone Lines Most Expensive In World ( by far)

Sponge Bob

People should mail their thanks to info@comreg.ie for getting us to Number 1 in an international telecommunications comparator ....and for the first time ever . We never topped ANY international telecommunications survey before ....until now.

We are now officially the Most Expensive Country in the World in which to rent a telephone line and make a few local calls.

We are the 17th most expensive country in the World for prepaid mobile phone calls.

150 countries were surveyed in all.

Thanks to Thraktor on Boards for digging this beauty up.

As Ireland has the Worlds Most Expensive telephone lines .....over 10% higher than the second most expensive which is Norway .....we are unsurprisingly scoring quite highly on Mobile Internet where we are 7th in the world as people dump their landlines en masse .

Fixed telephony Ireland $42.20 . Next highest is Norway on $37.60 , over 10% less than Irish costs .

Norway, however, is over 5 times bigger than Ireland and with a similar population .

They will also supply you, no problem , with ADSL broadband even if you live north of the Artic Circle whereas you cannot get it reliably within 20 miles of Dublin ...even now.

Nice work.

I've submitted a request to The Last Word, that they do a piece on this. If a few others highlight it to them as well (and other shows) it should get some air time.
