    I have looked at the Com-Reg Site www.comreg.ie

    And I cannot find any indication of a Reduction in Eircoms Line Rental of 24.18 + VAT per Month.

    I thought this was being brought down to below 10.00.

    Anyone Heard of this or when it is going to happen??

    ComReg announced today that the wholesale line rental will be 10% lower than the retail one.

    As SkepticOne pointed out, the other carriers will get a 10% reduction from Eircom on the line rental charge.

    After several recent increases, the retail rate for a PSTN line is 19.98+vat per month.
    ESAT etc. will get this for 17.98+vat.

    Don't expect too many special offers with only a 10% margin to cover the extra costs involved.

    It appears that Eircom will be able to charge 9.05 euro+vat for the switchover so this will make it even less attractive.

    We may get single billing but don't expect any price reductions.

    Cheers Guys must have got my wires crossed..it looks as though that Eircom will be Ripping us off for many years to come...

    If they want competition in Ireland they should open up all the market..incl..Line Rental and same for Mobile Phones as to be honest we are getting Well ripped off.

    I want to goto UTVIP for broadband but will have to take there telephony service but also pay line rental to eircom..I would use eircom if they reduced there prices of broadband and gave similar offers as the others..Just for ease if not anything else..

    I think Com-Reg are not really doing a whole lot unless it is made a law.guidelines will not always be adhered to as they are only Guidelines!!
