    how could this be right? It would mean wholesale charge at €22.50 so there would be no way for verdors to make any money on it especially if there is an extra charge for switching over. Or am I missing something?

    Not to mention billing and support costs. You're not missing anything, unfortunately.

    IIRC it was 15 months before the discount would pay for the €30 transfer fee..

    Whichever way you look at it eircom still get 90% of twice the EU average. And the transfer fee of ~ 10% paid up front so that helps cash flow.

    So Eircom actually make money on it for the first year.
