Slow connection frustrates Eircom’s internet users

PREPAID internet users who have subscribed to an Eircom flat rate package are finding it more and more difficult to get on line, particularly at peak times.

Subscribers who use an analogue phoneline to access Eircom’s Anytime package are experiencing particular difficulties in the afternoons and on Fridays.

The flat-rate package, which costs €29.99 per month, is tailored for heavy internet use but is being marketed at small businesses and those who use the internet during the day.
