/travel/ireland/Wireless Access
So I'm writing this from my flat, connected to some wireless access point called Eircom147. I called Eircom (the Irish former-telco-monopoly), talked to a reasonably responsive machine, sat on hold, and talked to a person. I asked about the WAPs I could find from my flat. She said it was some kind of system where I had to purchase cards, and forwarded me to their internet division.
The friendly bloke in the internet division didn't seem to understand what a wireless access point was gave me a 33c/min tech support number.
Anyway, I now have free internet access that runs at >80kb/s, so that's pleasing. Faster than what I'm (read: google is) going to be paying for the ADSL.
