    Ah, ya gotta love 'em. They make all these wonderful changes and don't bother to tell their customers.

    Basically you now cannot upload to your Eircom web-space unless you are on a direct dial up to Eircom.

    I wouldn't bother. It's standard practise, and there is nothing wrong with it, apart from them not notifying their customers with webpages.

    ehh yeah.
    you want to upload stuff to their machines you use their services.
    perfectly fair.

    whatever about angola thats a bit extreme.

    is it just for the free accounts or the monthly charge service? if its the case for the latter I'd complain.. I mean wasn't it eircom who had those ads with the lads takin pictures while on holidy and throwing it on their webpages?
