Irish Broadband Ad

Thomas J Stamp · 21-03-2006, 13:30

Anyone heard this yet, it was on Today Fm this morning during Ray D'arcy's show. Basicly has a controller talking to a train driver who is a bit worried that his train isnt moving and he cant find the fuel gague. The controller then tells him he driving a dart and he's on the wrong line.

Cut to a pa announcement in a station (using the real ding dong) and the voice saying that the 1720 dart is cancelled due to leaves on the line!!

Will you tell Barry or will I?

Heard it many times quite funny, has never happened thankfully, well not yet

Gift Grub had a good sketch of Bertie on the way to the office when his driver slept in after a free drink gig

There is plently of mileage to get out of the sad excuses IE invent, such as operational difficulties, incident on the line. The truth is driver showed up late and train struck person but we are not considered able to cope with that level of detail

There is a ad doing the rounds on the DART which has a communication cord box missing the cord with the no wires tag line

That is quite good.

I find it ironic and cheeky that Irish Broadband challenge customer service though. Their CS and product delivery are amongst the worst I have come across.

And when the problem is proven to be with an IBB basestation, they will reply with: "It's the line to your computer."

By total accident I spotted the IBB ad in a photo I took, little bit of the unskew function and bingo
