    just to start my weekend off to a good start the $$$$$$ phone line went down friday evening (and half the road too) so no internet for me ... :(

    Playing around with my Moto E770v tonight thru bluetooth > Pc and guess what ...it works :) .... but the speed is very slow ... like 9.6 versus 40.0 on a normal dial-up :mad:

    What sets the speed so slow ...is it the use of a bluetooth connection ? ...:confused:

    well day three .... half the surrounding county is down on their telephone lines but the suns out so it's not too bad .... :)

    oh, and 9.6k is not a working speed for anything let alone dial-up :(

    day 4 and we are still down ....:(

    driving past a large hole in the road so stopped to have a look :confused: .... a lone Eircome guy looking very forlorn, peering down at a large cable ripped to pieces :eek: ..... 200 phone lines etc all wiped out by a rock breaker, laying a sewer pipe for another 5 million houses :mad:

    how long to fix it I ask? ..... don't ask he says :o

    ps. he did say he was down a week before warning the Builder to be carefull about buried cables .... :cool:

    well it's day five .... Eircom have worked their $$$'$ off to get 200 telephone lines re-connected and today they are all back :p

    If you could only see the devastation they arrived to find ( in freezing conditions, to boot!), you would have nothing but admiration for the Eircom guys, to get us all back up and running !!!! .... :)
