EircomTribunal web site launched

eircomtribunal

Resulting from a school project we launched www.Eircomtribunal.com today.
We are interested in your feedback, especially on our main item "Facts, lies and incompetence - the ODTR and its latest quarterly review".
Has anybody got a complete address list to post the press release to?

Sir, i appluad you

Been reading that for the last few minutes ****ting myself laughing in utter delight.

You have obviously spent a LOT of time on this and from a cursory glance, it seems to have been time very well spent. again, from a cursory glance, all the facts and figures seem correct and obviously as embarrassing to the country as they should be.

Good luck in the forthcoming legal battle (pretty sure eircoms attack lawyers will be onto it soon) and good ****ing game.

Well played, read the first half of the "Facts, Lies and Incompetence" and must day its very well done, it would be so easy* just to throw up them figures up but its a well crafted entertaining read, ohh and i love the cheese analogy


*im sure it wasent easy and took a loong time

A Word of Caution
"Can you really afford to read this web site online? It may be more expensive than it is worth. Due to EIRCOMs misuse of its monopoly status, facilitated by the Minister for Communication and the Office of the Director of Telecommunications Regulation (ODTR), it will cost you around € 3 per hour on modem access and over € 6 per hour on ISDN 128 access. Why not consider joining the 85 % of Irish citizens who do not access the internet from home?"

This is actually a good idea. This should be put the Boards.ie or IOFFL frontpage

"So, you handbag thieves out there, if you still think our comparison is libellous, write in to us and we are prepared to clarify further" tbh

This stuff is gold.

Great site and completely accurate.

Excellent work

expect you will be hearing from the deep pockets of €ircons lawyers Messrs Sue Grabbit and Run

Brilliant ! This site rocks.

Excellent site!

Simply brilliant.

The lazy (nearly half of its 11 000 staff are not needed) monopoly Telco EIRCOM is allowed to cream off € 3 per hour for very slow modem and € 6 for slow ISDN Internet access of the Irish citizens who are booking flights online.

Booking one of your really cheap flights, for example Salzburg to London for € 2, the rat will take more for its crappy Internet access than you for providing the flight. - letter to Michael O’Leary (Ryanair)

a picture's worth a thousand words ...



One day slow modem access in Ireland costs € 41 – for less money you get two month modem access in the UK or one month always-on ADSL broadband access.

The site is just so brutally honest and frank. It's superb. You could quote any part of it. As Giblet said, the entire thing is gold. I congratulate the creator.

says it all

SkepticOne

Excellent stuff. Particularly liked the hours online graph.

BKtje

That site is brilliant. nice one!

The picture at the top of the charts page is so unbelievably true.

Excellent site .. its amazing how facts speak. I would have hoped it could have been more of an IOFFL site, if you know what I mean. Just having a browse over the IOFFL site doesn't have the same impact as this site. That's not to criticise IOFFL efforts (who am I?), by the way. Is there some way to combine the efforts to achieve the same goal?

LoBo

perfect - brilliant! Pass around the link for the site, everybody!!

There's a couple spelling mistakes, but otherwise everything is great.. keep it up

Mr E

Love it.... well done !!
It'll be interesting to see if anyone tries to have it shut down.

Pld.

Nice idea and entertaining reading.

I am surprised however that you opted to actually name *them*, rather than use some other descriptive reference (a la eircon for example) to avoid the crap which is sure to follow from the laywers.

I hope the site stays up long enough to get attention. You should publicise this site to as many online media sites as possible, as well as the odd newspaper.. .you never know, a mention here or there in the press (even as a protest site) will work wonders for the readership

I would say you could almost certainly count on it. Eircom's team of ravenous lawyers aren't high priced for nothing... and the company must "strive to protect it's image"...

*ahem*

sceptre

I'm more impressed than I've been in quite some time

If Eircom (big "E":D) do try (and maybe even succeed) in shutting it down, I trust you have the whole thing in a zip file so that anyone[1] can put up a mirror?



[1] probably "everyone"

LoBo

Surely there's nothing wrong in having a factual information website about a company? I think its right to use Eircom's proper name, and keep things factual.

mneylon

As Eircom's attack lawyers will probably try and get this offline asap I am publicly offering whoever's responsible for the site a mirror before the legal wrangling begins.
Please contact me asap so that we can set it up for you.
Either reply here or PM me.

HUAP!!!!!

The site is TRULY FANTASTIC and I have no qualms whatsoever linking to it from the IOFFL site.

I have circulated the url to some government officials that I feel could do with having a peek.

This site must stay up. It may need some protecting (legally here and there) but its attempted removal should provoke outrage and as we have seen in the past its replication 10 fold.

seamus

Excellent site. I love the plain and basic way it's all just laid out in front of you. No conjecture, no opinions, just hard facts.

Stick a zip of the website on some boards.ie webspace. If eircom try shut this down, then they'll know what to expect.

pencil

Excellent site.......

Everyone I know with even a passing interest in IT has received a link to it with instructions to pass it on.

Bertie's my local TD - writing a letter to him tonight.

I know that they will get their €200 an hour wind and piss in a pinstripe suit merchants onto these poor secondary school students.

Talk about sledgehammers and nuts. If they do I will have another domain ready to take the load..and another..and another

hmmmmmm who is eircomare****e.com
