	The joys of rural Ireland. Although to be fair I am looking at an
alternative service which offers 20Mb down 5Mb up for about 20% more.

	Not even a C to put the F in - as this place got near to being ready
to move in we took up an offer for a landline phone and 24Mb DSL feed for
a good price and free installation. Engineer turned up and noticed lack of
pole (we had told them) and called in an order for poles. Eircom engineer
turns up a few days later works out where to hook us up and marks locations
for two poles. Time passes, more time passes, yet more time passes, even
m... ah you get the idea. After several months of "it'll be next week for
sure" we told them where to stick their poles should they ever find them
and went with a fixed wireless service which was up and running in less
than two weeks.

	There's great service in (some parts) of the major cities, OTOH if
you live in a cul-de-sac a couple of miles outside of a medium sized
village some 20 minutes drive from the nearest largish town then it's not
so great - in fact if you live in a new build in such a place it can be
essentially non existent.

	Should I hear about fibre turning up round here I will start round
two of getting poles, probably direct with Eircon in the (faint) hope that
they fill their own orders more effectively.

	Back when they were Telecom Eireann I used to call them Telecon
Airhead, I'm not sure they've improved.
