    Sorry if this is rehasshing old issues.

    Does anyone out there know when Eircom's Band 13 was invented or when the rates went sky high? Did this coincide with Internet growth in Ireland?

    Has anyone ever published an article on the issue or made it publicly aware?

    CommReg don't seem to care about it as everything is legal and above board. Does the public care about it?

    danny, an very good point.

    The answer is well, i think an number of people have written to news papers however if you were to write about eircoms current affairs you could be proecuted for slander of Eircom Group PLC....

    None the less you make an excelent point

    The full story is in this thread Here

    €ircon invented Band 13 effective 01/11/02 and charged €3 a minute at the time which went up to €3.60 last year.

    Comreg have been asked to make it opt in only but refuse. You should email bobby.hannon@comreg.ie and ask him why he allows super premium numbers to be acessed by fraudsters , uncontrolled.
