Sigh. DSL is great and all, but a billing query leads me to discover that I've been double-billed for the installation charge AND it's not been billed against my original account number despite being explicitly told that it was.
Two items going in the post today: my signed paperwork for the phoneline (finally, only four months later) and paperwork to have it taken back off eircom and given to EsatBT who are going to trick it out with DSL. Take that, former state monopoly!
Well, I've signed up for Esat's flat-rate access package, despite their rather odious privacy policy. I am, of course, fully expecting another customer service disaster.
My ISP appears to be continuing with the suckweasel performance. Right now I'm getting dropped connections, failed connections, half-speed connections. But of course I'm not paying them anything for the service, so I can't complain.
