    ****For those who don't know****

    Any one on the free service with the Pop number on their circle of friends?
    Be ready for a screw, 1892 cant be added so you access cost will go up and
    *you* will be forced to use it after a few weeks and the change over starts
    this week.

    Cheaper access, thank you ODTR!

    1892 isn't meant to be cheaper, it's meant to include the ISPs costs in the phone call. (ie you don't need a subscription to an ISP)
    1892 Pay-as-you-go (PAYG): the customer pays for the telephone calls to access the Internet but does not pay any subscription fees to the Internet Service Provider (ISP);

    Ties in with the removal of 1891 from the circle of friends

    With the inclusion of 1892 this will affect everyone using a local Eircom POP when the numbers are replaced soon (odd though, I don't think they included 1892 in their original notice).

    Its simple

    * Anyone using the pop number on Circle of Friends will have higher Net access costs.

    * If a pop goes down your ****ed. Before you could just dial a pop out of the trouble area, with this you wont. It all maps to the local pop, no more 01 pops..... You will have to have a connection for another ISP. Now if all the Dublin pops went down you could call one anywhere in the country, for example 049 and being after 6 all national calls are at local rate. Now with the new routing this wont work. If you area is down, tough.

    * And the Free service was always PAYG so all that talk is BS.

    The ODtr should have planned this a bit better, eircom are on a winner so far.
