    @Tommy Haze: The standing/service charge is what pays for connection/reconnection services.

    @Sean O’Dhubhghaill: The standing charge is how they really screw us. They get you to compare their prices against what little competition is in the market and make themselves look better.
    Answer me this: If it’s for connection, why do all new houses have to pay massive connection charges.
    When the network is in need of a major upgrade, why does the regulator add it on to customer bills. One of the current upgrades, smart meters has been added on to customers bills for the next 20 years. I wonder how they will all explain what will happen when the telecom networks switch off 2g on which these meters work.

    @Donal Ronan: I heard the smart meters being installed in Ireland weren’t giving live data to yet esb which is bad enough but I never knew they were using the old mobile data network until now!
    Hopefully it will just be a case of swapping in new sim cards, though even that would result in a large standing charge increase!
