Can't "downgrade" bundle unless I sign up for another 12 months

    Hi there,

    I'm out of my 18-month "eir complete Broadband & Phone" contract now about a month now. I was looking at my telephone usage for the past few months and there were no phone calls made to either land line or mobiles so having the "eir Talk Unlimited National, Mobile & UK" is a waste of money for me. 

    I called the customer care team to talk about removing this from the bundle. I was told that this could be done, but that I'd have to sign a 12 month contract. I don't want to do this, as I'll probably be moving to another provider in the next few months.

    Is signing a new contract the only way to remove this part of the bundle? Surely that's not fair.

    Hi gerard1970 ,

    I have checked this out and I can confirm you should have the ability to downgrade without signing up to a new contract.

    I would reccomend contacting our support team and they can look into this for you.

    Thanks

    Thomas
