I heard this (possibly apocryphal) story in the local last night.
A serious internet user had recieved the usual Eircom blow off concerning availiability of land line based BB in his area. (exchange not enabled, too far away from exchange, wrong type of copper etc etc). His wife and daughters tired of his hogging the phone line for "dial up" access decided to get a second line installed for their exclusive use in their own name.
Once the 2nd line was installed he discovered he could get a good BB connection on it! A month later he cancelled the first line.
Now he is looking forward to a happy and contented BB Christmas with his wife and daughters.
