I have not used
IBB, but have been through a few of the others, BT (when it was Esat) Clearwire, (worst yet), O2 never over 500k on 3.6Mb, all sorts of grief when you try to cancel direct debit.
Finally found something that makes them sit up and take notice. The Small Claims Court!! This costs the princely sum of €9...!!!
The way it works is simple. Download a form from here
Small Claims Procedure
Fill it in, include your €9, send it back to your the Small Claims Registrar at your local District Court. They will contact the company, try and get them to pay you whatever you claim, and if not, the case goes ahead. Some good rules in this system though. You do not need a solicitor, they can use one if they want, but they will not get paid legal expenses, you can claim up to €2000, (amount of money paid to provider, plus reasonable costs of trying to contact them, loss of earnings, time off work etc). The two best things about this system is that the Registrar will assist you in preparing your claim and they have only 15 working days to reply to the Court. With the standard of communication shown by these cowboys, what do you think the chances are that they will reply in three weeks? If they do not reply within the time frame, you automatically get judgement and you do not even have to attend Court!
For once the Irish legal system seems to work in favour of the little man.
