    hi -
    moved to a new apartment D3
    3rd floor listed building(no dishes allowed)
    No phone line in apartment
    ripwave and 3g mobile ain't good enough for me.

    I can get eircom to put a line in for 120euro but no guarantee that it will work - but it's my next step. .

    Any ideas??

    NO NTL in the area no?
    Phoneline is your only bet after that

    Will anyone else other than eircom install a phone line????

    If I get eircom to install a phone line for 122euro will I be contractually obliged to rent the line from them???

    Can I get eircom to install it and then use magnet or whoever!!!???

    Alien and all as it sounds :) , speak to some of your neighbours. Some, if not all of them will have investigated broadband at some stage. Also, some of them may have working fixed lines, and as you will be off the same exchange (unless by some freak of nature Eircom decide to put you and your next door neighbour on different exchanges, TRUE STORY!), you should expect the same service as they get.

    Hope this helps!
