    I'm living in rental accommodation near St. James Hospital in Dublin and am having serious problems getting broadband for my apartment. I'm on the ground floor of a block which is 5 o6 stories high. We are not allowed to install a phone line so thats the DSL possibilites gone.So far I have been rebuffed in my attempts by a number of providers:

    Digiweb Metro service - technician said the line of sight test would fail and so couldn't install their service.

    NTL: we have NTL digital service but broadband is not available on our street (thats a strange one!!)

    Irish Broadband Breeze service: they won't install their aerial on rented accommodation blocks over 2 stories

    Vodafone usb mobile broadband: couldn't get any signal in the apartment for this and duly returned the modem the following day


    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what i can do? I'm really getting fed with the situation! iT is dublin city after all!

    Get a phone line installed, a new line ( none there before) is free right now so tell the landlord to get the finger out and install it then transfer it to you straight away . It will cost him nothing .

    Nobody can deny you that right and if the landlord says anything tell him you will report him to the PRTB .
