How about this for service from Eircom?

Phoned them at 4.30 pm last Friday to order ISDN, the engineer arrived this morning at 9 am to install it. Now I've got to wait for An Post to deliver the TA.

That's all very well and nice but i would fine it a helluva lot more impressive if it were DSL.

I wanted DSL, but they can't tell me when. I've waited for the past 2 years for cable(NTL) , never delivered, DSL (God knows when), so I decided to go for ISDN for the moment until things improve. BTW I did get the Eicon Diva through Eircom.

Call me cynical, but that smacks of blatant "milk the dying cow" mentality from Eircom.

Customer: "Hi, I'd like DSL"
EirScum: "I'm sorry ... we can't tell you when you can have it. Why don't you order *cough* Hi-Speed whilst you wait" ??

T*ts to that ........ I'm not giving those cockroaches any more money than I have to.

I orderd my ISDN line yesterday evening. I'm in an area where I could get ADSL but what's the point €79 + VAT for a 3 GIG cap. Like owning a Ferrari and only being allowed to fill up your tank once every month. You cant have your cake and eat it. So I've settled for a Mr. Kipling French Fancy.

why don't you try eircom's 1mb line. I know it's expensive 169 euro but there's no limit to what you can download and it works out at around 42 euro a week.

You must be one wealthy Civil Servant.

Eircom don't give out 1meg lines as easy as 1-2-3. There are some criteria like a network with 4+ computers or something like that. Could be wrong. Anyway, I'm not spending €169 + VAT per month for the luxury of a 1meg line.

Nah I'm on pittance actually. But I'll go without food as long as I get my sweet connection. Will be a while though. Have to bring my puter up to Dooblin first.

Why would I need a network? No offence, TinCool but if I give them the hard cash then I'll damn well shove it up my arse if I felt that way inclined.

Doesn't coyote have a 1mb conn?

AFAIK, Eircom cannot dictate that you have to have 4+ computers connected for i-stream enhanced nor can they force you to spend €900 for a survey and router. Once your line passes and you pay them their connection fee and monthly fee they have to provide the service to you.

How about this for service from Eircom?
