I just want to know from other people's experiences wither their line actually worked when it showed up as may be suitable. and if it was actually usable.

Have a look here, near the end of the following thread:

Thread Link

I know of another line which was about 6 km long and was just about managing 2 mbps while other lines which are shorter were having difficulties. It all depends on how good the internal wiring is, how good a job eircom did on the lines in your area etc.

Sure the only way you can find out is by ordering, and if the modem cannot connect, then you can pull the plug on the contract (I think). Ask eircom themselves for the info.

I'm sure you can pull the plug. They can't charge you for a service they can't provide as they are in breach of contract as they can't give you the service in the contract.

Its when speeds are bad but within contention that you might have a problem as they could argue that they are giving you what you signed in the contract even if your connection falls to below dial up if you divide your contention into the speed you should be getting and it is above it then they are giving you what they said they would, no matter how crappy it is.
