mylescorcoran at 02:45pm on 17/12/2004Well, Irish Broadband finally turned up today, 2 hours late, and determined that our house is too short for wireless broadband. Even with a 10 ft. mast on the roof they couldn't get a signal over the houses behind us, which lie between us and the city centre.
Eircom have been useless too. I've tried to get a DSL connection before trying the wireless option, but Eircom's line to us isn't up to carrying DSL. It's their f'ing line, but we have to suffer. Better yet, even if we get a new line to the house (at our expense) they won't guarantee it will be sufficient to carry DSL either. Is it any wonder that broadband adoption in Ireland is proceeding in fits and starts? I'm having a fit right now.
