Vodafone €30 pm broadband offer

Did you go on the Vodafone website and try your address? They tell me the max I can get is 10Mbs

Best Home Broadband Package Deals from Vodafone

"He then gave me loads of yada yada about Vodafone using the ESB network and how unreliable it was, how it was shared with Sky and loads of other companies."

He was being economical with the truth, all right! VF are also supplying it via Eir's fibre and "part fibre" networks - but you probably already know that.

They will even supply it over Eir's Rural Fibre that few know about. (https://fibrerollout.ie/) They offered me €25 a month last year on Black Friday and I'm kinda sorry I didn't take it. I was greedy and holding out for the Google Echo that was also in the rumoured offer I saw on Boards. That was for 100MBps, no land line etc, and for 12 months only. They used to plague me with offers to sign up for broadband when I was not in a location to get fibre. Now that I am, it's crickets...!

I switched to VF for the fibre offer for 40/month. However, I've had to also shell out for a VPN because they buffer my IPTV connections. Luckily I have a dedicated router for my TV that runs the VPN all the time.

Been running IPTV for years with Vodafone broadband and never had a throttling issue

I've two separate IPTV providers. Everything was flawless with VM, but with VF I get buffering especially on Saturdays when football matches are being shown. At other times there is no buffering.

But, when I switch on my VPN, the buffering goes away.

I was on a 35e deal which was due to go to 50e a month, rang them up and resigned for 12 months again at the same price. Later rang up to see about a deal for my parents one and said they were thinking of going to Eir because it was 29.99 a month and the immediately matched it too. I'm still happy with the 35e per month anyway but agree customer care is poor.

If you're looking for the best offer they have a team called Customer Options which will get you a better price than the person who you first speak to on 1907.

Anyone have the number from OneBigSwitch to ring? Their website won't load for me at all. Tried different browsers, wifi vs 5g, phone vs laptop but it won't load at all! V strange

Thanks for that info. Was it just the broadband you got for €29.99 / €35 or any calls included?

I can potentially tell you tomorrow as I ordered this Friday(with TV) and it is being installed tomorrow.(27th). I'm currently with Eir but I've been using the router I had with Sky and have a booster upstairs. If the vodafone router cannot interact with the sky booster then what I will do is continue to use my Sky equipment. There is no technical reason that i have to use Vodafones own equipment.

If I find the VF equipment good then I will just clone my SSID and password onto the VF router so that I don't have to retrain all my devices already connected to it.

Been with VF about 8/9 months now I think, never had an issue with the service once they got it installed which didn't take place when they said it would and the customer service is a joke but all in all I can't complain so far. No issue with my IPTV either.

Cloning might be a strong word for it. Basically note the name of your current Wifi that you connect to. Let's say yours is called "PURET" when you search for it on your device, you go into the settings of the new VF router you receive and rename the router to PURET as all your devices in your home(and visitors) try to connect that. Ensure then of course you also change the password of your new router to match the password of the Pure Telecom router.

Usually to access a router you type into a phone/desktop browser 192.162.0.1 or 192.162.1.1 and enter a password. Often it can be VODAFONE as the password but as I don't have one to test right now a quick google on the router will help you figure this out. It's not hacking, the information will be very easy to find.

I just got the email today saying Eir are increasing my sub by €6 per month so I can get out of contract by cancelling before 31 Aug.

Can anyone advise please if I should organise and sign up with VF today or cancel Eir first and then shop around?

There will be blood otherwise if bb shuts down and leaves the wife without Corrie, EastEnders etc.

Thanks.

Mine went up €6 also so I decided to leave them for the sake of it and move to VF, added TV but €5 a month overall less.

In my Saga today seems the sales person(had to order VF over phon) as some online issue). Didn't he go ahead and put through a 1GB order(1000mbps), I live in a small village with Hybrid Fibre where possible(max 100mbps) so that is why they wanted to try to dig up my property to run wires to the pole, I get about 85mpbs per second from my copper connection to the cabinet 300 mtrs away which is enough for me. As much as I could have allowed them do that to get 1000mbps I don't want my concrete cut up and repoured, my garden dug up either so KN cancelled the install, VF cancelled the order and placed a new one called VF "Simply" so I've to wait another week.

Confirmed again today that they will take over the line, I have that stupid Eir Apple TV box to go back but won't cancel until VF is actually in situ as Eir are useless and I run the risk of losing broadband If I give them a headsup. I have till the 21st August anyway to back out of the contract.

My pure is up soon and I was wondering how much retention do they do. Was it SIRO you were on and if so, is the change seamless?

Why did you do that when you are in contract? Surely you'll be caught for contract exit?

On SIRO, what happens with the switchover? Is it seamless I wonder

VF all day long Eir never ever again- nightmare

Says on their website that you can skip the UAN and they'll seek it later, so likely you may have completed an order, albeit partially.

You still have a 14 day cooling off period with VF and by Law.

Now if they don't have a UAN number they can't take over your line/property as the number is unique.
