What is the cheapest option to get landline plus 2048/254 BB from Eircom? Is it cheaper to bundle these services?

watty

I wouldn't have thought so. Esp with line rental going up.

Did you check the Eircom.net website?

There are two bundles:

bb plus evening and weekend free local and national phonecalls costs €54.99

bb plus unlimited local and national phone calls costs €59.99

Line rental included in both packages.

you could get free local & national calls, + 2mbps/256kbps with magnet for €39 incl. line rental , but it has a 10GB cap. however saying that, its 50c per GB in excess of that only, so on an equivalent cost basis, €59 with Magnet gets you unlimited calls, 2mbps/256kbps uncontended ADSL2+ with 50GB 'cap' so to speak if you were to put the €20 saving towards the extra 40GB :-)

Oh and btw, eircoms advertising as just gotten worse, their packages are now being described as 'unlimited monthly usage' i mean, come off the stage.

3MB/512kbps ADSL2+ from Smart inc line rental is €35, no contention, limits or caps.

For another tenner (i.e. €45) you'll get free local & national calls.

Kinda begs the question why you'd consider paying €54 or €59 for the slower contended option, but it's your money....

Smart might not be available? Might not wish to change the phone number?

exactly, with magnet you can keep your number, plus smart's service isnt 3mbps/512k its 3m/256k

Just to add

BT 2m + Line rental = €40
BT 2m + Unlimited Ireland and UK calls + line rental = €54

Available everywhere Eircom is but cheaper.

Just to add that any advocacy of BT should carry a financial and a mental health warning.

Correct. It's another €5 for the 3m/512k from Smart - €40 p.m.
