Eircom Versus Vodafone

    Hi all,

    I am a little concerned about signing up with Eircom. A guy called to the door offering fibre broadband from eircom. Unlimited download. I have 40GB with vodafone.

    Having read some threads here I am concerned that I have made a mistake. Eircom promise fibre optic b/band by January.

    I am still within the 10 day cooling off period. I am sorry my querys are not more specific but am not very techinical and don't understand a lot of the jargon already posted. I suppose I am worried that I will have slow access to the internet

    Any advice appreciated thanks

    Vodafone should have offered you "unlimited" (250gb) at this stage for the same price as the 40gb no? They rang and offered me that for free about 2/3 months ago.

    No they never offered and I am with them a long time ( well out of contract ) and I have my phone with vodafone too :mad: Maybe I should give them a call. I have 2 days left to decide, just worried that I have been duped !!

    Ya, call them.

    I have broadband only for €32 a month. Still have the landline too, but only pay for calls made. No free allowance on it.

    I would switch to Eircom


    Broadband speeds are amazing

    And they leave you alone. I was fed up phoning Vodafone about my broadband wifi connection dropping and having to open ports on within my router settings every second day.

    If it wasnt switching wifi channels it was opening and closing ports. Not very reliable and their tech support are anything but that.

    Personal experience I would say Eircom

    Thank you gimmick for the replies. Thats a nice deal you have and thanks for the info.

    I just rang Eircom and they say that as its the same line that v/fone use my speeds won't change. Its supposed to be an uncongested line. My deal is for unlimited download/upload and some calls off peak included, for €40 inc vat. I currently have 40gb and free off peak for €38 with v/fone. So it is a better deal for me to change and I think I will. Fingers +

    You'd think I was on line morn noon and night the way I'm going on !!

    Thanks to trudub83 also

    eircom unlimited means unlimited

    there is a fup of 500gb per month with eircom but its not really enforced
