Broadband bluster

THE broadband service through our eircom phone line is very poor.

In 2002, eircom told us we would not have a full service for at least two to three years because we were “too rural”. Now, five years later, we understand nothing has changed and that broadband is still a few years away.

Which will then take us to 2010 or thereabouts — in total eight years of bluff and bluster.

Is it not incumbent on eircom now at least to provide broadband free until they can operate a normal service?

Or is there any other provider who can offer a real service to us?
