Eircom not delivering on promise

    I ordered an eircom broadband package off the web site and had an engineer call to the house on the 21 of sept to connect the line. I asked if the line was ok for broadband as that was my only reason for wanting a line in the first place and was assured that I would easily get a good connection as I am only a mile and a half from the exchange and the line was fine. Two day later I received an email stating that
    “Unfortunately we are unable to provide you with eircom broadband at your current address as your line fails to meet the required technical specifications"
    I called the 1901 number and after explaining my situation was told that the line would be retested in a few days and most likely there database just needed to be updated. A week later after no communication I called again. No test had been carried out.
    The woman I was speaking to was rude, aggressive and unhelpful. I told her that my next door neighbour could get broadband and that the engineer said I could and all she kept saying was that they do not have to guarantee broadband.

    I’m posting here because given this woman’s attitude I have no faith in her doing anything to help resolve this situation and I have no intention of making the same phone call week after week. If I call again it will be to cancel my contract.

    Otherwise wait for eircom :)

    Just recieved a call from eircom telling me that my line has been tested and is fine and my broadband order in under way. Fingers crossed it'll be plain sailing from here on.:)

    Hi Kev1480,

    Thanks for posting on the eircom Boards Forum.

    If you PM your phone number or eircom Account number, I will be able to check if this order was put through for you.

    Cheers,
    Ant
