I would love to know if I can then jump back onto the 12 month contract? As soon as I select TV as an add on, the contract time period jumps from 12 to 18 months.

Gonzo wrote: » Yeah I ordered online, when the order went through it said Eir Extreme 300 and Eir Talk, however the price is for broadband only. I think they mean a Voip phone can be added later, not sure what the situation with that is but I didn't get a phone and don't pay for line or calls unless I choose to make them If I had a phone!.

Gonzo wrote: » yep on the 300meg package. Everything is going great except for one thing. I am having issues with the wireless signal on my Huwawei P9 Lite phone. The phone always shows full wifi signal, however quite often the internet stops working for several seconds at a time then comes back and goes again, very intermittent. The wireless is perfect on the PS4, TV and laptops, its just not performing well on my phone for some reason.

My brother who lives next door to me is being phoned about offers of a new contract. We live in the Inch St Lawernce exchange area in Co. Limerick serving the villages of Caherconlish and Ballyneety. No definite date of going live except Spring/Summer 2017. Some ducting work has been done on my road in the past 2 to 3 weeks ago. According to some earlier posts on this thread Vodafone are not selling ftth connections. Therefore I told my brother that he would be leaving Vodafone and joining Eir, Pure Telecom or Digiweb.
