    I got what i thought was an eircom flyer in the letterbox during the week.... It was only when I got to the very end that I realized it was a Perlico flyer. It was designed like it was some kind of service announcement from eircom which got me to read it thinking my service would be going down or something.

    I don’t think it is very wise to try and trick potentially new customers and I really think using eircom colours and branding too like eircom’s is in any way kosher. Complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority and ComReg lodged. Win my business with pricing and service not fraud ye feckers!

    A perlico sales rep told me broadband was available in my area and he tried to sign me up after I told him it wasn't. But he assured me it was so I told him to ring me back which he did and I had checked it with eircom and I was right it still wasn't available.

    They'd do anything to sign you up to a contract.
