Do Vodafone, Sky, Pure Telecom etc allow bridging on their supplied routers?

    Hi I would be most grateful for any 'on the ground' knowledge of my question please.

    Currently with eir but will be looking at my options when my contract expires shortly. My issue is that I currently use an Apple Time Capsule to do all of the networking in our house and which is connected to the eir fibre router by ethernet which is set to bridge mode to the Apple TC.

    If I was to switch to Vodafone, Sky, Pure Telecom etc., do their supplied modems allow bridge mode to enable me to continue to use the Apple Time Capsule as I do now?

    I know officially that all companies don't support third party add-ons so I won't get official help. But as long as I can access the supplied modem settings and activate bridge mode myself, I should be good to go?

    Sky, no. In fact, their TOS forbid using a third-party modem.

    Vodafone did on their HG659 modems but I don't know about the Gigabox. You could continue to use your Eir modem (if they don't ask for it back) and just change the PPPoE credentials.

    Last I knew, Pure Telecom use some Technicolor muck. It can be bridged but not easily. But again, you could continue to use your existing device and do a credential change.

    Digiweb do and will supply a modem specifically set to do just that of you request it.
    VM do, but you need to request it and move to IPv4 addressing.
    The others ISP's I've not dealt with.
