    My contract is about to expire with Eir.
    I don't fancy paying E68 a month & I hate their router which is crap on the 2.4Hz signal. (there's so much bad feedback on it on web, you'd wonder why they've kept using it!)
    Looking to switch, just looking at a comparison website. They're some decent deals, would anyone recommend a supplier ie vodafone, Pure , digiweb, sky.
    Is Digiwebs router as good as they advertise?
    And then they'res my concern - if I switch, Eir are still basically supplying the service, so if they'res a problem, will I have to wait for ever to get it fixed?
    I remember hearing about them getting their knuckles wrapped about this.

    Vodafone have a decent deal. For the 150meg plan it's 25 euros per month for first six months, then 55 after. Contract is 12 months.
    Downsides: modem not great and 1tb Fair usage policy.

    Digiweb: 55 euros a month.12 month contract. Great Modem.
    Downsides: 1tb fair usage policy.

    Sky:35 euros a month for first 12 months. 12 month contract.
    Downsides: modem not great and 1tb Fair Usage Policy. Price much higher after 12 months.

    Airwire: 49 euros a month. 6 or 12 month contract. Great Modem.
    Downsides: None.

    Thanks, They're different prices to what i seen. Which comparison site was it?
    Do people typically switch every year like with the ESB?
    I'd stay if out of contract price was ok & service good.

    It's probably not from a comparison site, most regular posters on this forum will have a good idea of current prices from different providers.

    It's best to switch every year to get the best price unless you go with a company like Airwire who's price does not change after 6/12 months.
