Am I missing something here? if your line fails is it not down to eircom to resolve the problem as they own the line and are responsible for the failure?

Jayzus Shin.

Please tell me how come you have a minister, comreg and an eircom product manager at your beck and call?

How did you manage that?

PS Would you put in a word for me with your 3 Amigo's?

shinzon,

Have you complained to comreg about your line or tried to get a reduction in your line rental due to it being substandard, also what reason did eircom give for your line failing the adsl test?

SkepticOne's point is that it couldn't be a Labour Minister, since the current Government (and so the Cabinet) is made up of Fianna Fail and the Progressive Democrats. Could be a Shadow Minister of course, but they only think they're Ministers.

Im sorry but i cant post the ministers name who rang me, id get into real trouble for posting it if i did, suffice to say hes looking after my interest, just look what happened yesterday, within 10 mins of him ringing off i get a mail from comreg saying its been escalated to the product manager of eircom, now that is some going.

Im not trying to keep anyone in the dark here or playing games with you all, trust me on this

Shinzon, read what has been posted, or failing that look at the newspaper

Labour are not in power.

No Labour minister rang you.

Either a FF Minister rang you or a Labour T.D. rang you.

Or your telling porkies.

It's gotta change sometime ... but probably not in my lifetime ...

looking out of ones consitituants is one thing ... manipulating a system is another ...

why not give him/her a shout and see what he/she can do for you

The minister for Finance is in my backyard .. a waist of space unless, your into betting and horses !
