Broadband switch deals

Does anyone know what router Virgin are sending out to new customers now? Does it depend on what speed you go for?

Silly virgin

customer loyalty should be paramount

There was

until this year I always got a decent deal ref car/ house insurance

not this year

gas / electric ⚡️ yes

Where did you see pure doing GB speed at €40?

Currently with them on 35mbps on €30 a month.

Getting fibre installed in 2 weeks and they said GB speed is 50€ a month .

Saw it on bonkers but they prob only give it to new customers. Pure don't seem to do any loyalty stuff

I rang them about signing up as opposed to the website. To avoid any doubt I did ask them to confirm that it was 1Gig and free installation and he said yes, free installation on SIRO but OpenEir FTTH you have to pay activation for. I have both SIRO and OpenEir FTTH available to me and the price is much better on SIRO with Digiweb than the OpenEir network for whatever reason.

I said similar for years until recently,

hope against hope that they’ve improved their customer care training,

VF CC is second to none,

but they wouldn’t not couldn’t match tbe deal eir gave me,

I was with them years but they just wouldn’t match eir,

I was fed up ringing them , went from loyalty team to sakes n back again and again-

no joy

My Digiweb 500 on NBI is expiring on 1st dec, do i need to cancel the contract or just let it lapse. I’m going with Pure for €35/mth

I rang SKY this morning to notify them of my intention to leave at the end of the month when my contract ends and before the price doubles from €30 to €60 per month. Without any bargaining I was offered another twelve months at €30 per month and no contract to keep me tied to them. I've only got their Siro based Ultrafast (500mb) package, no phone or TV subscription, Happy Days!

Would the VF offers be subject to their annual price increase of CPI + 3% each April?

Gave me basically the same thing

I left

I was told by Sky's customer rep that I'll have that price (€30) till December 2024. I called SKY before initiating a switch to another provider if that makes any difference. I know that other posters in this thread were offered similar to this by Sky.

VF contract will be coming to an end soon. Currently paying €45 pm for 1Gb along with off peak phone and always on service.

Fairly happy with them to be honest but also happy to jump ship if I get a better offer. Must be SIRO. Considering the Sky Stream and Broadband (500mb) offer for €50 pm. Also considering the Digiweb €35 pm 500mb inc phone offer.

Main worry is around the Sky router. I've heard the Fritz!box used by Digiweb is supposed to be excellent. We have a lot of smart devices constantly connected and in use so signal strength and performance is a must.

Is the Sky modem for SIRO any good?

I have the sky stream deal, sky store is broken in Ireland since before September on it and they're aware.

The router is fine, not as fancy as the Fritz box, but that's a very "premium" router.

I'm able to do everything I need with it, port forwarding, hundred plus wireless devices, different subnet, even works with my wifi repeater to add VPN magic which I thought it might hijack.

Also it doesn't reset your outside IP (v4) address every night at random times like Vodafone do, which for me is my favourite.

Does anyone know if the sky Siro router has a Modem mode? Thanks
