    Hi guys,

    Back in December like so many homes we lost our phone lines due to storms. We had a pretty poor broadband service prior to this but since January the coverage line quality has been shockingly poor. I'm talking about dialup poor.

    I've done all the usual tricks, changers noise filters, swapped out modems all to no avail. 

    My wife recently contacted broadband support and she was treated pretty poorly. She was put through to sales and encouraged to upgrade the line to 3mb as the 1mb was running at 'capacity'. A recent speed test on the line was 0.08.

    Against her own gut feeling she was persuaded to upgrade the line a week ago and the service is just as appaling. We have been paying for really poor line service for quite a while and only recently getting to do something about it as my wife is now working attempting to work from home but can't even send or receive emails without timing out.


    Broadband support wouldn't log my complaint three weeks ago as I was calling from work and not on the home line.

    Aisling was great at communicating the repair to the phone line over Christmas to me so I'm reaching out and hoping you can do similar for us on the broadband please.
