Home Phone \u2013 Fixed Line Installations<\/span><\/h2>\n

The concept of Universal Service is to ensure that basic fixed line telephone services are available to end users at an affordable price. The scope of universal service is defined by the 2002 EU Directive which was implemented in Ireland by the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Universal Service and User’s Rights) Regulations 2003 – S.I. No.308 of 2003. These regulations were amended in 2011 – S.I. 337 of 2011.<\/p>\n

Eir was designated to provide universal services. Under Universal Service regulations, eir must meet every \u2018reasonable’ request for a phone line. The service provided must be capable of:<\/p>\n

Local, national, and international phone calls, Fax communications, Data communications at rates that are sufficient to permit functional internet access (28.8kbps is the target internet speed that eircom must endeavour to deliver).<\/p>\n

Eir may deliver the service wirelessly via Fixed Cellular Solution (FCS) when the cost of installing a physical line is prohibitive. Normally, there will be a set charge for any connection.\u00a0 Aside from this charge, installation should be free as long as the cost of the installation is below \u20ac7000. When the cost exceeds this amount, eircom will bear the first \u20ac7000 and the customer must pay for anything in excess of this.<\/p>\n

If eir determine that the installation cost will exceed 7000Eur, the customer is entitled to receive a written reply, detailing how the costs were calculated.<\/p>\n

If a consumer has a complaint in relation to an eir installation they may lodge a complaint with eir, please note that if a consumer.<\/span><\/p>\n

We set binding annual USO quality of service performance targets for connections. The annual performance targets for connections are split between in-situ connections and all other connections.<\/p>\n

In-situ connections – these do not require a call out to the premises as the activation of the line is carried out remotely. In line with Eir\u2019s policy statement, it should take no more than a working day to activate such a request for connection. We have set the following targets:<\/p>\n
