Re: No engineers?
Thanks for your reply, but surely im entitled to cancel contract if they are not able to provide a fix for 2 weeks so far and even today i rang again they are unable to arrange engineer and they wont tell me when, it could be additional weeks or month nobody knows and obviously broadbanded is needed and i can get one from a different supplier within few days lol

That would not be automatic grounds for unilateral cancellation in the UK: consumer law and telecoms regulation may be different in the Republic.
