Esat BT IOL Anytime

Slaanesh Ronan Walsh Wank Dog posts : 20 First post on quake.ie, wowsers ! Thought this might relate to a few other quake heads out there. One of the many downsides to living out in the stix is lack of broadband. About 2 years ago IOL anytime was introduced, this was a flat rate (ish) dial-up package for ~€30 a month. 180 hours of internet time, it could be used with ISDN too. I immediately signed up, it was pretty good at the time. Now with the evolution of broadband it sucks monkey balls but broadband is still not available to me. I signed up for ESAT BT to be billed via direct debit. 2 years later I had still not been billed. About 2 months ago I receive a bill out of the blue for about ~€700, no letter or anything with it, just a big massive f*ucking bill. I still havent paid yet waiting to see if anyone else had the same problem. Yesterday Overlord(woody) got a very similar bill, so this seems to be occuring to a few people. Is there anyone else like myself and woody to receive such a massive bill ? Anyone have any thoughts in regards the handling of such a matter ? Fucking robbing bastards ! Ronan.

Maybe you can contact them to arrange installments?   edited by bAz on 21/10/2005 11:26

Ombudsman is from Swedish, a Germanic language in the same family as English, and man in Swedish corresponds to our word man. Ombud means “commissioner, agent,” Even funnier Zero!
