When Mr Rains first reported the fault, he said he was told by his provider Sky it would take up to two weeks to fix. <\/p>\n
“We were quite OK with that at the time because we were going away for a fortnight… but when we came back after two weeks it was still not fixed. <\/p>\n
“We were then told another week but it was still not sorted. We’re now nearly nine weeks in and it’s still not fixed,” he said.<\/p>\n
The dad of two said he was also concerned about the impact the outage was having on his children’s education.<\/p>\n
“My son who’s 11 has just started at secondary school. He can’t do any online learning because doing it on his mobile by mobile data isn’t suitable.<\/p>\n
“My daughter, who’s at Joseph Wright College studying art, can’t print anything off on the printer because of the wi-fi and she can’t download stuff because there’s no broadband, so I’m angry,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Mr Rains first reported the fault, he said he was told by his provider Sky it would…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82703,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[259],"tags":[18,19,285,17,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-82702","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-internet","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
