My parents have had a telephone line since April 1968 - over 45 years!!
A month ago they were cut off for 6 cent owing on a bill of 175.36 euro
They had gone to the post office and paid the 175.30 before the due date
They thought a technical issue was affecting the line when they called to discover it was cut off for 6 cents!!
They subsequently went back down to the post office and paid the 6 cent - it then took EIR 3 weeks to reconnect them!
They are with UPC now - Eircom can change its name to whatever the hell it wants -it's customer care are obnoxious condescending twats!
