No dial tone.

I have no dial tone on my phone and internet is unusable, DSL light on router goes on and off every couple of minutes. Phone was working fine on Monday evening but has been dead since yesterday morning.
Can somebody chase this up for me please. I reported the fault yesterday but I'm lost without the phone and internet as I'm stuck in the house all day. Thanks.

Hi fj1200,

There is an outage in your area, which we have been aware of since last night. The technicians are working on the issue at the moment.

I will let you know when we get any updates.

Thanks, Mark

Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark,

Broadband is still terrible here. Phone line was bad over the weekend too, crackling so loud it was unusable. My wife logged a fault Sunday afternoon it was that bad.

Any chance you could follow this up?

Thanks.

Hi fj1200,

I see the technican was out this morning, so I ran a few line tests to insure the line was testing ok (which seems to be the case)

Is everythig back to normal on your end?

Thanks, Mark

No mark it's not. I was on to faults again this evening. Looks like the modem is kaput. Grand i thought, replacement to be delivered monday. Then i'm told i'll have to sign up to 12 month contract for a free replacemet. I'm with eircom 20 years and thats the way i'm treated. Do i need to tell you where to stuff your contract. What's the procedure to gett disconnected? I'm off to upc!

Hi fj1200,

I will look into the contact with broadband support and get back to you.

Thanks, Mark

DSL can apparently work over a single wire, where as a phone line needs the two sides of the line connected.

You've obviously got a wiring fault

whole broadband minimum service requirement is not well regulated, voice has to work.

Get onto ComReg if the fault isn't cleared soon!

fj1200 · 23-03-2012 9:12pm

Wow that was quick. Disconnected already. Or is my phone line now dead along with my broadband? Unbelievable! Mark, can you organise a final bill for me. I have no phone line or broadband so i now consider myself an ex eircom customer. I will pay up to today but not one cent more. And i'm not sending any emails or letters to customer care requesting canceling my service.

Hi fj1200,

I got a PM form Rose, I PM her back regarding the issue. I apologise for the recent fault history and disruption. However I can not agree confirm if we can action what you outline above without investigating further.

Thanks, Mark

fj1200 · 27-03-2012 1:00pm

What's to investigate Mark? I've been effectively cut off since last Friday, no phone or broadband, so I'll pay Eircom up to that date and that's it. End of story. And you can pm Rose, who ever she is, and tell her that.

Upc are installing phone and 25mb broadband for me this Saturday. 40.50euro a month, I must've been made staying with you guys for so long.

Thanks anyway Mark, I know it's not your fault.
Peter.
