This is an interesting topic. Basically the general line I've gotten from
ESAT was that I didn't have to sign up for an ESAT telephone account but that
I had to get a switch put onto the house telephone line. That sounded like a
half way measure like, you can chose which network you want to use, ESAT or
Eircom. Because of that I couldn't be arsed so far. Looks like they're
trying to pull the wool over the eyes of lots of people.

no box router needed for surf no limits, it's like a regular isp. so
that would make tech support right (who i must say are very helpful and
know their stuff)

I'm guessing you'll have too unless it was already filled out on the
original form.

it's actually not a 1891 no but a big long one which begins with 1332
hope this is helpful
