    Anyone know how you get Eircom to move the phone line to the front of the house. I am knocking a wall and need it moved from where it is...
    Electrician doesn't know where it comes in from, I had two to look at it. so I guess I need an infrastructural Eircom engineer to move it.
    I'm guessing they would move it in 20 mins.

    Any ideas? is there a company that contracts for eircom I could use?

    wont your electrician just join it and move it to your new position?
    im sure thats what eircom will do(for a much larger fee)

    well, he cant find where it actually comes in... from, I had two guys take a look. they can only connect to it and bring the wire under the floor which is messy.

    I basically want eircom to just connect to the main connection outside... and bring it straight into the hall.

    wha?
    they will just bring a cable in through the front with the other cables.

    Its no big deal, its better than digging up floorboards and using ducting.

    note option 2 of eircom reply
    they say the cheapest and best option is to organise a sparks to do it
    i agree with that option
    it will be the quickest too

    yes, its possibly cheapest. I understand what you mean.
    But the 2 sparks didn't have a clue, as I have said many times in the post... the first was an alarm fitting guy and the second a straightforward sparks, I have him a call out fee anyway...

    I want a straight forward connection straight to my hallway.
    Thats what I want, simple as that. I don't want a loop of cable going all over the place. under floor of dining room, sitting room and then into hallway... I am going to move my equipment.. have DVR's / NAS / routers etc.. all there...

    I like stuff done right I guess, thanks for your advice though I appreciate it.
