Its Blanchardstown/Castleknock/Clonsilla/Mullhudart/and all that area around the Blanch shopping center. I dunno anyone in the area who has got broadband. I know I can't get it from anyone. Its a real pain in the butt. All those annoying eircom ads don't help either. Grrrrr.

I rang Eicon about 2 weeks ago (1800512128) and they re-tested my line and said the rasdl product was available to me.

I am located in Castlefield off the Clonsilla Road.

I also did the on-line test for the Esat product and this is also available to me if I want it !!!

I did ask Eircon if the higher speed version (1Mb) of I-scream was available to me and Biddie said it was !!!!!!!

I haven't made up my mind yet ... maybe utv ????

Placebo

Eircon = Eircom ..... !!!!

utv = UTV Internet check out www.utvip.com

utv are a ISP - we are all holding our breath to see if they release a ASDL product here in the Republic which on the Ireland Offline forum they have expressed an interest in doing ...

Placebo

since when did they change the name to eircon ?

anyway their package is 54 euro per month and 99 connection if you self install it , is it hard to self install ?

If you can get eircom, you should also be able to get one of the bitstream resellers e.g. netsource.

Clover

i live in huntstown and i'v ordered from eircom, the line passed for both so i went with the 54euro offer.

my line failed the test when they had the trial at the exchange and several times since (got it teasted every now and then )
so i jumped at it when it passed.

(they have been laying new cable around the area for months now).

I might have to get a retest so...

Dont be at yourself

I'm in Huntstown and my line test failed. And the ****ers won't remove the unused dacs box on my line.

Switch to UTVip they have to remove it then. Then in a month or two do a line test and UTVip should be able to give to some form of broadband then. Thats what I'm doing. I refuse to give the Errorcon "****ers" even my land line calls after the farce of a service I've recieved so far.

Q_Ball

I live in huntstown also (small world eh? ) and according to the iol broadband website I'm able to get their service. Haven't had my line tested yet tho. how do i go about doing that?

oneweb

Tiny world (Just up the road)

D15 too. Passed Eircom's line test (before the 11th April - BTW, does that mean I can get the non-R ADSL?)

Called EsatBT, was told ADSL was available, just need a line test from themselves later on.

Yay!

PS Placebo, '€ircon' is a running joke some boardies use for the similarly-named monopoly.

RicardoSmith

I pass that line test (iol broadband website) too, I suspect it means squat. Ring them up and get a proper line test. I think, I'll give them a ring too!

pete

hello fellow d15'ers

Has anyone in the littlepace / hunters run area passed the eircom line test?

The iol BB page says yes it's available "in your area", but eircom / netsource say no - "line test failed - probably too far from blanchardstown exchange"

netsource say clonee exchange (the one in Damastown industrial estate i think) is scheduled for upgrade to DSL "soon"
eircom web chat person says it's not

anyone?

flamegrill

Guys if you pass eircoms line test, you can avail of 3 different providers!! Mainly only the RADSL product but from netsource no cap 66/month (inc vat), esat 50/month 5GB cap and eircom 54.45/month 4GB cap.

Go for netsource
