[CLUG] broadband retrenchment

[adam beecher]

Donncha's right, but it's a bit more complimicated unfortunately -- if you
ask for a new line test, they'll just schedule it for next months run...
When it'll be tested anyway. If you try this though, a regular phone - i.e.
not cordless - plugged into the master socket will give you best results.

Another route is to go to Esat Business for an unbundled line, since Eircom
are required to unencumber those lines for testing. But this'll cost you
more, obviously.
