So, in order to open a bank account here you need proof of address. For proof of address, you need an ESB (i.e. PUD, Con Ed) utility bill. To sign up for an ESB account, you need a bank account because ESB only allows direct debit bank (told you they were a suspicious lot). And to top it off, you need both an ESB account and bank account to get wireless. We're screwed!
