    It depends on if it's an Openeir or SIRO estate. For Openeir you have:

    For SIRO:

    https://siro.ie/siro-broadband-partners/

    Sky are coming on board with SIRO in the near future I believe.

    You mean OpenEIR.

    So you can go with any of the providers that are on that: Airwire, BBnet, Digiweb, Eir, Fastcom, Net1, Pure Telecom or Westnet.

    Depending on where you are in country, some of these may not service you. But they all can deliver on OpenEIR FTTH.

    They can provide you with a GSM (mobile) phone that plugs into a wall to fulfil the AFL USO, don't need to cable you at all.

    Jup. And there's also still some legacy wireless phonelines around. Even though I don't think that they get installed anymore. Just the old ones patched up.
