So thought I’d throw this up, in a similar style to the electricity and gas switching deals available
one big switch have a deal for eir Broadband €35 a month and €100 credit added to your account for new residential account holders, if you’ve had eir before use spouses name which I’ve done in the past
As far as I'm aware Vodafone will send you a box for the modem and arrange a courier to pick it up. or you have the option to drop it into a Vodafone store.
As for the situation with Eir they may send you one via courier, but it's also possible they may need to send a technician out to install it and check to make sure everything works correctly.
Unfortunately the only way to know for sure is to contact Eir.
If I was to change over from Vodafone to Eir, do Eir send out one of their modems and do I have to return the modem to Vodafone or how does it work? Thanks
i have done it in the past and the person signing you up doesn't care, they just want to secure the contract
Will they not recognise the address as being the same??
give notice and join up using your middle name or partners name with a new email address
I switched from Virginmedia to Pure for FTTH Broadband back in May, I went for the 500mb package as that's plenty for what we need at home, €35 per month and I've since referred two neighbours to them also and I've received €50 for each referral from pure. The service has been flawless to date.
My contract with eir is up end of this month....is there any way of me getting that One Big Switch deal as it's the best out there currently?
Yiu might have got a useless customer service agent, you could try again
I know that FTTH is available.......Vodafone told me !!!!! then they say that the cannot find me on their system using all the information I gave them. I have been a customer of theirs for at least 10 years FFS !!
i tried to do that going from eir to vodafone giving vodafone the date i wantd to start and the vodafone rep started it straight away rather than two weeks later
Put your eircode into Bonkers.ie and they'll tell ye everything that's available to you. It could be that because FTTH just went live for your eircode the system hasn't been updated yet and you'll need to wait a few days
I'm out of contract with Vodafone, have been for quite a while, have been waiting for FTTH to arrive. Currently paying them around €56 per month for BB and home phone, the BB is ok but nothing special. Got notified that fibre was available and got on the online chat with rep. I gave him my name, address, postcode, email and the landline number associated with the BB connection, he told me that he couldn't find me on their system which I find absolutely pathetic. Wanted my DOB which I refused to give him. I am now looking for a new supplier, I have had enough of Vodafone.
It was last year so I can't quite remember but I don't think I did. Iirc Sky said they'd handle the cancellation themselves and they did
Did you contact Vodafone 30 days before the end of their contract?
In my case I also switched from VF to Sky. I rang Sky a couple weeks before the VF contract ended and asked then to take over from that date. The changeover was seamless and there was no final Vodafone bill at the out of contract price.
i usually wait until the contract has expired and then deal with the new company to deal with the switch over
Thanks all.
If I cancel Vodafone now, it will cost me a break fee, as I am on the 11th month. Do I have to wait until the contract expiry date and then ring Vodafone to cancel the contract?
I will go with Sky.
Go with sky or eir, there is no point paying €40 for the same service
At the end of the day Vodafone, Sky and some others all use Eirs infrastructure to deliver the broadband to you. So go with whoever offers the best deal.
Unless it's changed sky have an Irish call centre whereas Vodafone use a one in India. If you have a problem it might be easier to understand an Irish accent than an Indian one. The Irish call centre also holds true for Eir.
Personally I'm going to cancel my Vodafone install and go with the Eir offer solely because I've had such a poor experience dealing with the customer support of Vodafone.
So I spoke to Vodafone now. They told me the price will go up to €60 a month next month (500 Mbps). However, if I get a contract with them now, it will be €40 a month. No bargaining.
I am thinking of switching to Sky.
Any thoughts/advice?
Sky BB €35 a month for 24 months is a good deal.
I am with Pure 500mb €35 a month, comes with a fritzbox which is a good router.
I had Vodafone before and the modem was not great and speeds were lower.
When I type in my Eir Code it says error. I might have to call Sky and negotiate with Vodafone to make it €30 a month.
I use boards on mobile, so can't see post numbers to go to 22.
Yes very reliable and better hardware than Vodafone in my experience.
link is in post 22 for both deals on offer from sky
I will check it now.
Are they reliable?
Sky €30pm for 12 months. Available on skys website
My Vodafone 500mbps annual contract is coming to an end in August. I pay €35 a month and got a message from Vodafone that they will continue the same price once the contract expires.
Is there a better deal out there for me please?
didnt mention, just said don't miss out on sky superfast broadband speeds in your home for just 30Euro.
here are the sky deals
What's the speed constraints with this deal i.e. Is it 100mbs?
