That ISDN dealy thing...

bugler

What was the number to call to get on that ISDN deal, u know the one with xx amount of hours online for xx amount of pounds? I know its here somewhere but I've searched and can't find it.

I have more questions, I'll be back later, in a rush.

Also, I've kinda asked about this before but anyway....

Will I need a TA with analogue port in order to connect at 56k again? Or will the box Eircom put in do that job itself? Does anyone know of an Irish store that stocks those Asus TA's everyone seems to buy from OCUK?

And, I want it in my room, but the main phone is downstairs, and another phone in the room upstairs next to me.How will this work out for me? I'm not going to need a hub or anything am I?

I'm not going to go away, so you may aswell answer me :P

I don't know the number,but you can sign up for it online at eircom.ie,I signed up for it on Sunday and they phoned me today to say it was active now.

About the TA..I just have a 56k and a TA,both of them are connected to the eircom box so I just use whichever one I need.
56k for no-limits and ISDN CS etc.

AFAIK, the eircom hi-speed boxes that they now install has 2 regular analogue (rj-11?) outputs along with 2 rj-45 isdn ones... so you can plug your regular phone/modem in here... (I have an earlier (pre-hispeed) instalation which only has the 2 rj45 connections...)

My main phone was in the hall in my house but I asked the tech. if he could place the ISDN box upstairs in the office which he did without any problem... I then connected from this back into the house wiring which gave me back the phone points in the rest of the house...
HTH
...or something™

I got a hi-speed box installed in my bedroom upstairs, with the main house phone downstairs unaffected. The Eircom box has 2 ISDN RJ-45 terminals and 2 PSTN RJ-11 terminals.

You get a certain, relatively low number of hours online for a few quid Scrappy.Someone who is on it can tell you more, perhaps.

Will ISDN make me more attractive to the opposite sex?

I can't remember for certain, but I think it's 173 or 178 hours, or some obscure number like that, that Eircom either have very good reason for or simply pulled out of a hat. I'm looking forward to seeing my bill next month. Well, more than usual that is. Personally, I'd prefer if it didn't have "Eircom" on it.

Absolutely. I'm scoring all round the shop, me.

*koff* I dunno where "hours" came from. Or the number. Sorry.

hehe don't worry about it, I didn't believe you anyway

THAT many hours would almost be off-peak flatrate for me.We'll have to wait a while for that yet I'd say....

Oh, question.I have a second line installed, which will be no longer needed, there isn't some ridiculous 'un-install' charge fee is there?

Depends how opposite the sex is.

How much does this deal cost, anyway?
