    I'm at my wits end with Eircom. I have had ongoing problems since I made the mistake of signing up with you in mid. June. I ordered a broadband only account.

    The latest problem is that you have managed to create *two* different accounts & phone numbers (both b'band only.) Both paid by DD.

    Talking to customer care is a disaster because they say that they can only look at one account at a time.

    I also have problems with the download speeds (averaging 0.56Mbps according to Samknows.)
    During my last chat I was told that one acc. has a max. of 5Mbps and the other has a max. of 20 and that there is a major fault on the line. Told it would be sorted (the fault that is) last week but still waiting...

    All I want is to pay for ONE DECENT WORKING acc. and get credit for the other. 

    Is this too much to ask here?

    Hi Alan,
    One of my accounts has disappeared so there is hope...any chance of something being done about the dire lack of speed...?

    I'm awaiting an update from technical support on this - that does indeed seem very low to be honest

    As soon as I have more information I'll let you know

    Thanks

    Hi J_A_F_A

    I'm very sorry this has not been resolved for you yet - I will add priority to you case today and get back to you as soon as I have any further information.

    If you added "priority" to my case it's not made any difference. I would really like this fixed before Christmas. As at 06:00 this morning the line was crawling along at 0.74Mbps

    Adding priority to this has seed to be ineffective - I will follow up on this today and update you as soon as possible.

    Hi Alan,
    Giving this a bump. I received a final bill dated 17th Dec 2014 for the account that you killed off. It states that there is a substantial credit. Still waiting for a refund cheque...

    Also sent you a PM about a different matter.
    Thanks,
    J_
