Ok,URL is to long to post so when u go to www.eircom.ie click on 'Find out more about our FREE trial now' then 'Find your nearest location' along the right of the screen.

Since I live within 50 metres of one of the points listed I'll be giving it a shot. Anyone else tried it yet? Or is there any ins and outs I should consider beforehand?
Cheers
Nick

A bit of OT advice - €ircon links won't post because of their @&BV session management setup.
