I'm getting the 500mbps down and 50mbps up that Vodafone promised (fibre) so that's excellent for the money (€45 per month, no installation fees, 12 month contract) Wifi is pants though and the guys that came to install my "superwifi" add on (€5 per month) didn't seem to have a clue what they were at, so have to get them out again
unkel wrote: » Well Vodafone promise perfect wifi throughout the house for an extra €5 per month (on top of the €45). I'm going to take them up on that. I don't really care about any routers or how brilliant they are as long as I get full speed broadband

He said he'd give me 24 months 1000Mb connection @ €50/month locked in for the full 2 years, and they'd pay any early termination fee from Virgin. As my 6 months half price is about to finish, and I'm about to jump to €85/month with Virgin, I thought I'd go for it. I've got a couple of weeks to test out Eir before committing, so I'll see how it goes. To be honest, I'm sick of the annual call to Virgin. Some years it's a breeze, others it's more hassle than it's worth!

I wonder what will happen if i sign up as a new customer the day after my current account ends.. Will it go through or get flagged somewhere? I'm going to give it ago anyway.

Have looked through the bills and can get as far back as 2019 and he's been paying 101 per month since then on what looks like a legacy Horizon deal "Horizon Complete Bundle Anytime World" Seems like he may be paying a bit over the odds but I don't know what the equivalent deal on their new plans is.

Treppen wrote: » Thinking of cancelling now and getting the other half to register as a new customer! Tried it before years ago and they let me go through with the cancellation without any better offers (I did ask!). It was only when the Other Half rang up and went to register an order that they rang me back with a better offer if I got her to fahgedddaboudit. Let ye know how I get on.
