    Just an fyi, some lovely gentleman are now calling people, claiming they are from Eircom Broadband Support.

    It's the same scam as the 'Windows technical support' scam.

    I got my jollies winding them up on the call, but it may be worth informing customers of this scam. I'm not an Eircom customer btw

    It's a first for me actually (I work for another ISP), thought it was a new one. Cheers
