Mobile service providers warn of potentially massive service disruption

Eir has told ComReg there is a 'massive risk of a serious degradation in customer experience to the entire Eir customer base'.

Mobile service providers have warned of the risk of massive disruption to services from October, as the telecoms regulator has suggested urgent interim measures to protect customers.

Eir has told ComReg there is a “massive risk of a serious degradation in customer experience to the entire Eir customer base” while Vodafone has said customers in towns and cities would notice a “severe degradation in call connection, call set-up time, dropped call rate and data connectivity”.
