Broadband…Oooh so close

Well I have an Eircom phone line now which is great. Seeing as I rarely use the phone. Anyway I ordered broadband off Eircom around a fortnight ago. But I got a mail from them saying I already have broadband. “Wait a minute”, I say to myself, “If I already have broadband why did I order it?”. So I rang Eircom and asked them. “Well” they said “you don’t have broadband with us but that port is being used by another company, so until they release it we cannot give you broadband”.

Arrrghgghhh!

Smart telecom strike again. Now it looks like when they finally released my line they didn’t release all the equipment I needed to get broadband. How can one company be so incompetent.

I’ll tell you why, because there is nothing I can do about it and they know it, unless I want to spend a large amount of time and money taking them to court. Man for a so called progressive economy we are stuck in the dark ages. What a joke. I am voting for some radical party at this years election because Fianna Fáil have lost the plot.

My God!

So here I am back playing the waiting game. Without broadband until Smart decide (in 6 or so months no doubt) that they might as well free up some ports around the place.

Sigh!

    Yeah I had problems with Smart as well. But once they have everything installed it is good broadband. very fast

    Yeah they are pretty bad. They did install broadband in my place (around 6 months after I ordered it and 3 months after I canceled the order) but I got no router.

    And anyway I wouldn’t have stayed with them because I don’t trust them. God help you if something goes wrong with your line. You’ll be waiting a long time for it to be resolved.
