Eircom broadband home plus

an_other

Hi

I am on the digiweb metro home package. It has great speed 6MB and great monthly limit 30GB for €34.95 per month.
The problem I have with it is that it interfers with my sky reception and they want to charge me €100 to move the ariel.
I also lose connection during bad wind or rain.

Can anyone tell me what the total charge per month is for the Eircom broadband home plus package?
Their website says €29.99 per month but is there line rental on top of that?
What do they charge if you go over the 20GB.
Is there a charge if this is your first fixed line connection?

The many threads here state they don't charge for going over the cap. I have home plus myself but only once went over (by only a 100mb) and was not charged.

lol, no he didn't. eircom do not charge for going over the cap and have no mechanism to do so.

guil

how on earth do ya know he didnt, i know he got the bill so stop bein a tw@t sayin it didnt happen

I tell you what, get the bill and scan a picture of it up here. Black out his details and show us the amount and stating that it's for overusage.

If you can do that I'll apologise, but I guarantee you it won't happen, because you've either been misinformed or you're blatantly lying.

I think guil07 uncle is spreading some white lies.. maybe to sound cool :rolleyes:

I've never heard of charging for going over the cap either.

guil

i havent seen it or know what its for but my mother told me it was for 600 aswell

BlackWizard

Sure it's not a chat line he was ringing "eh.. just the internet charges darling. Nothing to worry about. Lesson learned."

guil

ha ha no the house phone can receive calls but cant make them so thats y i can only think its for goin over the cap cos he goes over a lot

BlackWizard

That sucks then. It's a lot of money to be handing out for any reason

guil

yeah i know as a said i didnt see the bill so i'm presumin its for the cap cos he's on the 3m bb but i'd say he d/l at least 100gb a month

So do I, every single month, and i never get charged, not so much as an email. Eircom do not enforce their download limit
