Yeah it looks like I'll have to now. Nothing whatsoever out of it. I have tried in various places around the house over the last couple of days.

My only hope is to leach off my friends Breeze Home (100m away from me) which means time to learn how to make Pringle can antennae.

Eircom of course will not tell me why my line fails either. I was chatting to someone in Comreg the other day who sounded like they were in despair also about the fact they have no regulatory powers over Eircom it seems. "Theres nothing we can do".

Encouraging it is not...

Its one of those things that u have to rtry to see if it works, there doesnt seem to be any hard and fast rules as to where it will work correctly, it seems a lot down to location and luck

I had problems with it until I updated my version of Windows XP to SP2, and installed a virus scanner. Now it's running fine.
