grr, eircom

I would like to sign up for flat-rate internet access. For €30/month, I can get 150 hours, with excess being charged at the regular dialup rates (5¢/min peak, 1+¢/min off-peak). I can get to the Eircom site to register for this as long as I'm not dialed up via Elive as apparently Eircom think I'm no longer in Ireland if I do that and have restricted their registration site to Irish IPs only. Dorks. Anyway. In order to sign up for flat rate, I need my account number, but since I've just changed addresses, closed one account, and set up another (no, nothing so simple as changing my address while retaining my account would do for Eircom), I don't yet have my new account number. So I'm stuck on the aforementioned regular dialup rates until such time as something falls through my letterbox telling me what my new account number is. Bah.

Is that for dialup, or some kind of broadband?

This would be dialup, yes. In fact, because of my predeliction for keeping antique hardware around, I'm currently on a 33k6 dialup. Which is a bit of a comedown from 128k ISDN.

Metered internet access sucks.

It sure do. But I'm stuck with it for now, because apparently my line ain't DSL-capable. Or the last time it was tested it wasn't, anyway.
