    the linetest is a database AFAIK - they run the tests periodically and then update the database. The test is not run live when you click on the website.

    Just so you know, you've posted the personal parts of your own phone number. You left out the area code, of which there's like less than 30 that are 3 digits and not many area codes have phone numbers that start with 91xxxxx. E.g. the Sligo area and Donegal too I think?

    What Loyatemu said. It can take the guts of a month before a linesman gets round to testing the lines in an exchange again - particularly in smaller, rural exchanges which are normally unmanned except for visits from eircom staff from the nearby big town or city for maintenance etc.

    But seriously, you might want to take down your ph number. It's very easy to figure out what it is if you only leave out the area code!
