The Armani suit has slipped

    It is heart-warming to see how Eircom is now challenged in a formidable way by IOFFL whenever the incumbent's PR-tricksters go about lying, spinning and misinforming in the public arena.

    While Eircom's lies, for example about their broadband coverage, are of no legal consequences to the perpetrators, there is a serious issue where Eircom's misinformation is a offence under law.

    Eircom sells its obsolete "net subscription" service in serious breach of the Consumer Information Act 1978

    We've asked the ODCA (Office of the Director of Consumer Affairs) to investigate and prosecute Eircom for what we consider to be one of the most substantial offences against the Consumer Information Act in recent times – dwarfing the shenanigans of the banks. The law allows for jail sentences of up to 2 years. It is a matter at the heart of Ireland's Internet and Broadband failure.

    When Eircom's "suits" go out to the media and lie to us at will, we cannot do much about it. But when they use manifest deliberate misinformation to sell an obsolete service to 200 000 customers on a monthly basis, profiteering to the amount of 100 million per year, then it is a different matter. Philip Nolan might well have picked up his "go to jail card".

    The new and unimpressive FRIACO flat-rate figures in today's Quarterly Report (page 5)
    "FRIACO
    • As at the end of March there were approximately 96,500 FRIACO
    subscribers    , increased by 3% from 93,600 last quarter."
    indicate that no change away from Eircom's obsolete "net subscription" service has occurred.

    It was suggested to me that my assumption of about 200 000 "net subscription" customers was way too high. Any ideas how to establish the correct figure?
