    My dsl has been constantly disconnecting recently so i rand eircom to send out an engineer.Finally after 3 weeks he will be arriving today.What can i expect from him?I have checked all the basics myself(faulty filters,new routers,different phone socket ect)so hes not going to follow his basic guidelines!...he will have to get straight to the point. Will i have to pay him? and if yes will it have to be there and then?...

    Yo do not pay him but eircom are only responsible for the mains socket and wiring to the exchange so I take it you disconnected all the internal wiring from the main socket ( if done properly thats 2 wires ) .

    The eircom problem is not their techs, its getting their techs to come out at all. Once they come out they will fix it .

    and that may explain your problem . If the internal wiring is that ****e be prepared to disconnect the lot and use dect phones ( unless you have sky plugged in that is )

    I can't emphasize this part enough. The techs are a by and large a dead on bunch of people. And if they can help you they will often go way out of their way to do it. Make sure you're nice to him though :pac:
