Installation was done and dusted within 5 working days (as promised), and my 3 customer support calls have been dealt with totally satisfactorily. Would definitely recommend Digiweb to anyone apprehensive about Eir's reputation.

raydator wrote: » Ok, how much would you pay on top of the €75(FTTH 1000MB broadband and VOIP) to get a 2TB usage and also that after 2TB your speed is only reduced instead of additional charges? Do you think €89 would be OK? If, on the FTTH 1000, FTTH 300 or FTTH 150 services, you were to exceed 2TB total data usage in any calendar month (that is combined upload and download data figures) then your connection would be slowed to 15% of your maximum speeds for the remainder of that calendar month.

Eir have been rocking the 1tb fair usage policy for two years now and in those two years think how much more data is being used today compared to September 2015. At the very minimum Eir should increase their default FUP for 2018 to at least 3tb for FTTH customers. If customers need more data then they can purchase an extra 1tb of data for 10 euros per month, similar to the way data boosters work on mobile.
raydator wrote: » Well, look at it this way, I would have 2TB of usage a month on my 1000MB connection and then if I go over, my connection would be slowed to 15% which works out at 150MB download speed for the remainder of the month.
Gonzo wrote: » Eir will never agree to that because they want to charge for every meg past the fair usage policy. Throttling speed won't benefit Eir with extra cash or savings, there is lots of bandwidth so no reason to throttle speeds. Customers going over the FUP = $$$. The main problem is they are advertising a product that is clearly limited, yet they claim is unlimited. If Eir were to be truthful, get rid of this unlimited advertising and keep things the way they are, they would probably gain more respect by being truthful.

Going to cancel my Eir contract......"Further to our conversation of this afternoon, I can confirm that on our FTTH 1000 service (and indeed all of our broadband services) we do not charge for exceeding any data usage thresholds. If, on the FTTH 1000, FTTH 300 or FTTH 150 services, you were to exceed 2TB total data usage in any calendar month (that is combined upload and download data figures) then your connection would be slowed to 15% of your maximum speeds for the remainder of that calendar month. So on the FTTH 1000 service about which you were enquiring, if you were to exceed 2TB data usage in any calendar month, the system would automatically limit your maximum speed to 150Mbps (the equivalent of our lowest FTTH product)."

We do not throttle or cap service, however, if a customer exceeds the stated fair usage allowance for data on more than 2 occasions in any 90 day period, then Digiweb reserve the right to terminate or suspend the customer’s service. Digiweb will proactively contact customers in advance of any suspension or termination of service.

If you're not on their active exchanges, they will make the request to OpenEir to enable it. So basically anywhere that OpenEir FTTH is they can use the network. They acknowledged that they have heard about Eir's selling tactics and FUP antics!. I now need to break my contract with Eir (only have it 6 weeks), which may cost me... but then I will have a much more realistic FUP.No charges for going over their 2TB bandwidth limit and connection only reduced to 15% of your package for the remained of the month! I was hoping to get a deal for anyone who signs up using a code, but didn't get around to that yet!

But it's the logging on every day to watch my stats and the charge which I cannot stand..

The Department of Public Expenditure & Reform has been in charge in actual budget allocations for projects like this for the past 6 years. However, the funding for this one will mainly be coming from a few sources. The NBP has got absolutely nothing to do with the Department of Finance.
