Eircom - Wireless router???

An Gaiscíoch

Eircom rang up last night offering my mother some bundle. She did all the signing up and they are sending it out next week. Now I checked on the Eircom site and I see that if you sign up over the internet you get a free wireless router. They cost 90 quid on the site! I have no idea about any of this stuff so I looked on ebay for one. CAn I use any wireless router or are there specifics? I think the broadband is just 1mb.

EG Could I use this one??? http://cgi.ebay.ie/BT-VOYAGER-1500-WIRELESS-ROUTER-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ160120000596QQihZ006QQcategoryZ44997QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Most retailers (pcworld, currys, etc) have the Netopia 2247 wireless router for €25, part of the eircom starter pack.

Did you establish whether or not the pack your mother signed up for includes the wireless router? If you can establish that it doesnt - then there should be a cooling off period (albeit very briefly) where you could cancel what your mother signed up for and sign up over the net and get the wireless router. However there is every possibility this could cause confusion in the system!

So if it does not include the router why not ring sales and talk nicely to them and see if you can get the wireless router thrown in as part of the package?

Customer service etc is closed at 6. I tried ringin earlier. Looking on the site it says that if you purchase over the net u get the router included. Presuming over the phone its not inc. I'll ring tomorrow
