Eircom leaves ISDN users in the slow lane

EIRCOM is offering broadband connections to the internet — a much faster service than ISDN and reasonably priced.

Is it time once again to celebrate the joys of privatisation? No, once again it is not. Eircom rolled out broadband in Skibbereen recently.

Anecdotal evidence from round and about the town shows that ISDN users like myself have been switched to narrowband as a consequence.
