    was speaking to them earlier -- they have a slight hardware problem today, yesterday only 3 of their 14 smtp servers were live due to "technical issues" mail delays of over an hour each way.

    Fair enough
    A short note on their website explaining this might have kept a lot of grumpy users at bay.

    They never post information like that on their website, never.
    I was amazed to even get a mail informing me of the dangers of diallers.

    Well, as you probably know, they only did that 'cos they were forced to by ComReg.

    Its funny that they don't ever post customer advisories. Maybe they prefer the revenue from schmucks ringing the 1550 number and paying to be told "It's not your fault. It's ours" .


    Anyway they are not the worst.

    only one out of three users could get email on one site..

    It's so bloody inconsistant..

    Reminds me of when they changed thier dial up phone numbers a while back - the old settings wouldn't connect. So setup a new account with another provider with Eircom username and Eircom password. Then I edited the dialup settings and only changed the phone number - and of course connected first time. Arrrrggggghhhhh

    How a home user could cope is beyond me..

    Funny thing is, when Comreg forced them to do it Eircom properly tried to make up some crap about it going to cost them thousands to send e-mails to there users :p

    Hmm does this count as spam?
    Especially if you unticked the "I don't want to hear from your company" box.
