I think that before you pass comment on why they are letting jobs gets the facts straight. Please spare a thought for the people who lost their jobs on friday and in some cases maybe not get employment again.

Broadband is rolled out in phases and your exchange is not live yet. Thats is why you are still waiting for one year and 9 months,and your exchange is not live yet and you will be updated when it is.

How come my exchange is BB enabled and up to a couple of months when i checked the smart web site it was say Navan should be ready within 6 months for Smart,then nothing it just say's we're not in you area? I was sorry to hear about the job loses,it's not good news to hear of any job loses anywhere.
