    They seem cheaper than all the rest and the device is included and also a 14 day cooling off period. Seems like a very good deal, but has anyone got any experience using it?

    Signed up for it in the end, but what can I say about Eir?? These are just some of the potential show stoppers I can remember:-

    Tried to sign up online. Asked for bank details then also asked for a credit card. Couldn't understand that part so decided to go to a nearby Eir shop.

    First attempt, found the shop closed up early.

    Second attempt, at a different shop, no stock.

    Third attempt at a different shop, again closed at 17.00 when they say they're open until 18.00

    Finally ended up in Grafton St, surely they will sort me out I thought. They had stock but told me the cooling off period is only 7 days not 14 for stuff bought in the shop. Also if there were any issues you have to bring it back to the same shop, you can't just use any one, which I found very strange. I'm off travelling so suggested I could post it in, again they said no way.

    Ended up getting it anyway and good news is it seems to work fine so far, getting about 20MB download speed.

    The usage view on their website doesn't seem to work very well so will just have to monitor it as best I can.

    Overall for a major national company I'm not very impressed...

    I have used them.At the start of covid when everyone was at home the service would drop regularly day and night.But that's sorted now.At night after 11pm there are drop outs some for 20 secs or 1 minute.After 12 midnight it is hit and miss(same drops) to 3.00am but not every night.Could be maintenance issues or high usage.Most likely high usage every time

    I have 3 mobile 4g broadband in my sons bedroom, we get about 30mbps and it cost €30 a month, ping/jitter can go up to 0.6s. We use the 3 mobile broadband int he car also with a little 4g device. We also have Eir 5G Broadband for the lounge, kitchen and my office. It is €45 a month for a 12 month contract plus €100 for the equipment. We are achieving between 40-60mbps with 0.017s ping/jitter, before 7am we are getting over 80mbps! NBI are due to be installing FTTH between April and June 2022, at this point I will cancel the mobile plans.

    why not get GoMo? It's the same provider (EIR), cheaper and unlimited.

    Have to say that's first I've heard of GoMo - they look nice and cheap but don't think they supply a modem?
