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. > I thought Eircom was one of the more clued-up telecoms providers. 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. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
