    Does anyone know what are the offpeak times this Christmas week/New Years period.

    I remember last 2 years that we had a solid week of off-peak rates meaning we could stay online for entire holiday period with SNL however i havent heard anything this year about that, anyone know what days are offpeak this period?

    Wouldn't that constitute an abuse of the Christmas spirit of the service?


    sorry

    Wouldn't esat setting their prices almost exactly around eircom's pricing for overpriced DSL constitute abuse of competition, goodwill and little puppies?

    heh

    For goodness sake we might as well just get bought out and call ourselves Little England.

    pity we only get the 3 days off-peak but better than nowt i suppose.

    Ireland is part of the British Isles just like finland is part of Scandinavia so to some ppl especially continentals ive spoken too cant tell much difference between Ireland and England just like we dont see a world of difference between the norwegians and the swedes, both countries look similar, our high streets and shopping malls are full of UK chain stores, only major difference is our accents, our roads and our telephony infrastructure. Me feels we have lost much of our Irishness appearence since the 1990's onwards particulary here in the east:(

    lol you guys are so easy to wind up! This thread was just asking what days are covered by SNL and now you're on about Ireland becoming 'Little England'. heheh.

    I say boxing day because that's how (and because of where) I was brought up.
