Sad to see, what used to be such a vital resource, so run down. Taken on Upper Rathmines Road, Dublin. (I think it actually was crashed into. It’s looking a bit bent)

 

It’s time to bring back that public service announcement.

So last year I made a complaint to the ASAI [Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland], this was based a long and rather annoying argument with Eircom.

In essence Eircom only advertise broadband products including bundles that are available to NGB (Next Generation Broadband) enabled Exchanges, however a large number of exchanges do not provide NGB including my Local Exchange in Tullow Co. Carlow, in response to a query from the ASAI, Eircom said that 73% of lines in their exchanges could avail of NGB and of their existing customers, 65% were within a NGB exchange.

35% of customers can’t access NGB and so can’t access any of the broadband products that Eircom advertise on their website.

So after several months the ASAI have upheld my complaint and stated that Eircom need to change how they advertise Broadband services, as of today Eircom have not made those changes.

I missed a call from this number [018920400] yesterday and again today. I tried ringing back and got a strange buzzing sound for my trouble. I decided to Google the number and was surprised to find this web page. Apparently, Eircom are not too bothered about bothering their customers.

 

Anyone?

The High court just quashed the Data Protection Commissioner’s enforcement order which sought to stop Eircom’s “three strikes you’re out” policy. This means Eircom will probably continue with their policy of shutting down the internet for people who engage in digital piracy.

No seriously. That’s his position.

Well, at least he has a job.

Thanks Darragh Doyle

Can you name all biking locations?
