Changing ISP

    Hi everybody, I’m looking for advice on broadband providers. My town recently got fiber but my estate wasn’t connected. I’ve been told by Eir that I can get up to 70Mb and Vodafone up to 50Mb. I’m about 300m from the exchange and less than 100m from the main road where the cable runs.

    I currently have Eir landline and broadband from Ripplecom(8Mb) so want to combine the two but not sure who to go with. After introductory offers I’ve been quoted, Eir €70pm, Vodafone €55pm and Sky €62.50pm for bb and all calls. Just wondering which of these have the most reliable service and bb speeds? I didn’t include Imagine because of some negative comments I’ve read?

    Thanks
    Joe

    All on the same lines. Skys calling is very limited. Eir are a nightmare to deal with.

    Yep. Same speeds for all of them as they use identical lines and (often indirect) routing.

    Do you have unlimited calls on your mobile? If so and the mobile signal is good you really shouldn't be paying over €35 p/m for u/l fibre bb. Have a look on bonkers.ie

    I never make or receive landline calls and just have it as a backup.
