    Like that writing wasn’t on the wall Comreg - gov bodies and thus regulators always do a better job of regulating less work for more pay and pension whilst the poorest get screwed.

    From what I can see the top three players Vodafone, Eir and 3 are just matching each others plans post paid anyways! ID failed and closed recently and 3 are still screwing Tesco Mobile on access only to old O2 network.

    O2 should have been sold to a bidder from outside the state, at least we would still have 4 players and physical networks in the country.

    Light on detail, missing reality tbh.

    On paper some MVNOs look "20%" cheaper but the fact is that not a single one of them are fit for purpose except Postphone which is the worst value network in the country and on the verge of shuttering.

    I've not changed in years but nobody has offered a data deal to come anywhere close to Threes 20€/28 days.
