Looking for still working dial-up ISP numbers

Comments

    Does anyone here know if any of the old dial-up modem numbers still exist and work for any of the ISPs?

    I want to test some old kit and it would be nice to demo the owner a working connection.

    Don't go digging up 21 year old threads like that. I've split your post off to start a new thread.

    Here is a blog post from 2015 so they might still work:

    I'd say eir would be your best bet to find a still active number. Their price list from 2019 suggests the number 1892 150 150 is still in operation:

    Eir switched off thie dial up internet access last week, so I'm not sure if there is any legacy dial up internet access available in Ireland any more.
