Well...either it was someone very new to their job that you spoke to or they lied...the launch material I looked at said it was €90 excluding VAT (as all telephony prices are....)...i'm even getting it installed myself and was told €108 ish inc VAT.

I think you should call back and double check.

esat adsl Modem Found an interesting PDF file, well worth a read. Very interesting piece of kit, much better then the pos eircom sell. What did they charge you for it?

DC

That would be 0. I guess esat still own it, but you don't pay anything.

crazyasafox

Do Esat give the option to buy the modem/router instead of renting?

DC

There's no rent. Its not like there is an option to tell them keep the modem in exchange for a reduction.

LoBo

€125 install charge (ex vat) includes the modem.
