Services available over FTTH infrastructure

Hi, I see your FTTH product is called Fibre Extreme. But your cheapest broadband package on it is €87 per month which is completely unaffordable. Do you offer any cheaper monthly internet services for slower speeds, but delivered over the FTTH infrastructure? The copper infrastructure is pretty bad and we are very far away…

Thanks

OpenEir prices dictate how cheap retail ISPs can go, as a new expensive rollout you won't see cheaper rates for a few years. A common misconception is that slower should be cheaper, but really it costs them the same to deliver 10Mb or 1000Mb.
