Residents in luxury housing estate on hold for phone line
The hi-spec homes in an upmarket estate outside Cork City have five bedrooms, landscaped gardens, CCTV security, central vacuum systems, whirlpool baths and satellite and internet capability, but all their owners want is a humble land line.
Despite repeated queries and pleas to Eircom to get them connected, however, all they have heard from the phone company is “we’re busy, please hold”.
