Take it from someone who had Eircom for a few months, it's most probably the !!!!test most expensive 'broadband' in europe. I had a 2 meg service and dial-up in the UK would be faster. It's a load overpriced !!!!e, like so much else in the south of Ireland. Haven't invested any money in the telecoms infrastructure and think by dishing out fancy looking routers that people will be fooled. The problems with unreliability are inherent in it.
