Actually, I'm not writing to complain about Eircom - I've been lucky 
enough to get broadband installed "quickly" (about a month after I 
ordered it?).

However, I just think it's weird that I live two miles out one side of 
Monaghan, and have broadband, and work two miles the other side of 
Monaghan, and have broadband, yet in between, people say they /can't/ 
get it!

There's a friend of mine living in Corrany, about a mile into Fermanagh, 
and he says that the telcos have basically said that the area there will 
never get broadband.
