    Really? Jesus Eircom really lie through their teeth to make you stay! If they had even half decent broadband most people wouldnt have to leave!

    If you have multiroom from Sky the boxes need to call back to prove they are at the same address.
    UPC phone in Dublin works fine with Sky boxes I know I have Sky and UPC broadband and phone.

    Match choice does not use the phone line Eircom lied to you.

    You should think of switching to UPC for phone and broadband.

    You won't get that with Eircom.

    The UPC modem uses the TV cable to get it's broadband.

    Their is a phone port on the back you just plug your phone wiring into that instead of the Eircom box on your wall.
