It was too good to last. I almost made it into May of 2009 without my eircom line going down. But this morning, it died again, along with a second residential line. It seems like its becoming an annual event.
January 2007. An eircom broadband experience.
January 2008. eircom broadband.
April 2009. To be continued.
Update: June 30th 2009. After intermittent problems for the last few days, eircom told me yesterday that there is a fault on the line and now the line is dead again.
I'm old enough to remember the powers that be touting Ireland as having one of the best telecommunications networks in Europe. How times have changed.
Our Government have enough issues on their plate at the moment, all of them self inflicted, but it's time to end this situation. Buy back eircom and provide it with the resources and leadership it requires to get our national communications infrastructure to where it needs to be.
Update: Gobsmacked. Less than an hour after reporting the fault, two eircom engineers arrived at the door in response.
