eir Alternative?

Vodafone TV may be available.

Vodafone are doing a tv plus BB and phone package for €45 per month. I'm going to change over to them myself today. Will save approx €15 per month.

Every little helps!

Looking to move as well. They renamed two of the channels, no big deal I thought until I went to rewatch some of the UFC events I had recorded and they don't work anymore because the channel doesn't exist.

Do any of them do a broadband only deal or do they force you to take the phone / tv too?

Well they're currently offering bb/phone and tv for €45.

If I cancel Eir is it effective immediately or 30 days notice?

That always puzzled me. If the line is disconnected by you leaving and the other person signs up. Is that a new connection and are their any additional fees?

Try leave it a day or two between the contracts. Also helps if you have different surnames!

I rang up customer service about this and was told there is still a 30 days notice period from when you received the email about the price increase. There is no mention of this in the email though.

Rang up about this price increase and they gave me €5 off my bill for 12 months so kind of goes against increase!

Always worth ringing Eir loyalty as always find they have very good deals to keep you happy, I have managed to have Prime Video free for what will be nearly 3 years by time contract is up.

The customer service guy told me I could submit my cancellation today but I would still have a service and be charged up to Aug 27th (30 days from when I received the price increase email).

Yes it seems that people say different things to different people. They're sales people after all, metrics based on who they retain after all.

I was told I can cancel immediately but I'd lose connection at some random time they eventually get out to cut me off at the cabinet and I lose my landline number. Tactics basically.

I will call back up to fully cancel once I can see the new ISP connected on a speedtest as I've a pretty useless Apple TV box to return. If the remote was bette then maybe it might be better.

It took me almost 120days to cancel eir.

Bloody nightmare.

Service was grand, but trying to switch supplier.. they just make it awkward with their incompetence.

My Vodafone order was confirmed but somehow the order did not progress for days while showing that all is fine.

Called them and had a super-helpful agent who made a couple of inquiries and then delivered the unwelcome news, that somehow the port request got rejected from eir but in a way that made the order get stuck (that is the story they say).

They tried their best to get it sorted but, in the end, they had to cancel it because nothing they tried worked.

Placed a new order online as suggested which immediately got told that a new date is in 3 weeks, then out of nowhere within a few minutes the date moved to next week.

Then I got a call from the CSR I spoke too earlier, who informed me that he kept an eye on my ordering and after the usual data protection questions, he confirmed that they had consulted with their backend team to get my date moved to earlier and that the modem will ship today.

And modem just got picked, I told him that I now would not have an active line anymore next week, but he confirmed that this is not a problem as they backline team was aware of this, and I am not the only one in this position.

So, a few days without fixed line broadband but I have a backup 4G router for that reason.

That CSR was outstanding, let's hope now that the installation is indeed next week as scheduled.

For myself, VF(KN Circet) arrived today and switched the cabinet before he got to me. I logged into Eir after an hour and it said "Account no longer active" so I never had to speak to Eir once.
