Moving house - eir will only install one active service per address

Morning all,

I'm nearly finished building a house in a semi-rural area in Louth where FTTH Gigabit internet is available.

The only problem is I have a side-hustle restoring and selling vintage computer equipment (DOS PCs, windows 95/98, old 56k modems). There is a hobbyist market for older networking gear and obviously you can get a better price for it if it's tested as working.

So it would be very handy for me to have a separate copper-based connection to the old landline network for use with that old dial-up equipment, and the address is in quite an old area with people that have been living there for a long time, so I'd imagine there must be landline cables running past my site.

But I rang eir and asked them if the site technician would be able to connect up both FTTH and the copper connection (and I could manage both connections through the same monthly bill) and they said their policy is to only have one active service per address.

Just wondering has anyone tried to get a similar setup? Are there any other providers that might be able to make this happen?

Cheers!
