    don't forget lads that in a couple of months we'll be able to rent our lines from UTV/ESAT/whoever (it was supposed to be from may, but it got delayed again)

    UTV or whoever have toirent the line off Eircom themselves first and then Bill you.

    The discount to the other Carrier ( or OLO ) is 8% , see The Prices charged to OLO's (ex vat) Right Here .

    Really? Do you know when that's gonna happen? That'll be a really big blow to Eircoms dominance. Good stuff.

    they'll make the money back on billing costs, instead of billing each individual in the state they'll just have to bill 3 or 4 companies, and the people that stay with Eircom, it should save them quite a bit - bypassing the whole 8% discount on the wholesale price, and then they go and increase the Rental price again - I don't see how Comreg allow them to increase the prices again without any additional service upgrades etc.........it's a disgrace, as usual.................

    on the plus side I see Comreg have stopped An Post's plan to stick peoples mailbox at the end of their roads.................I guess they just like Eircom better and will allow them to do whatever they feel like forever.......
