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
Same here and I am lucky enough to be on the 3 Hero plan for 15e/month - lucky enough to live in a rural area close to a 5G mast. Won't be changing to BB anytime soon, even though NBI has kindly left it user ready outside my gate.
Picked up a second hand 5G modem and a 3 prepay sim. 450 down and 60 up a month for 20 quid a month. I won't be changing anytime soon.
AH yes - my bad!
Mazzy Star was offered €30/m for 12 months. The offer on the website is for €30/m for 6 months then €40/m
Its VF current offer to anyone - new and existing.
See website https://n.vodafone.ie/shop/broadband.html
When I renewed they tried selling it to me as though it was a loyalty discount - total BS as its available to anyone.
That's my experience to a tee, every time.
I had the complete opposite. I rang up to ask what they would offer as my contract was coming up and first they said 70 with TV, I said no thanks, I didn't want tv and could get broadband with sky for 30. They transferred me to the loyalty team who offered me TV, phone and broadband for 70 again. I said no thanks, and sky was 30. They counteroffered with broadband and phone for 45, I said no thanks, that I could get broadband and phone with pure for 35. They then offered me broadband by itself for 40. I thanked them for their time and asked where I could return their equipment to.
Got 500mb and landline(unlimited call to other landlines) with Vodafone for €35 for 12 months. No increases. No haggle, just rang and said was going with Pure. Took 5 minutes.
Nope they just offered it straight up. I had to question them a bit about the CPI index increase though.
I am with Sky but yet to receive this email about an increase in fees, does it get you out of the contract, as I would lea ve them in an instant for the Pure deal.
did you have to haggle or did they just offer it,
Nothing on the website but I'd be interested in that too! I just can't face signing up to eir or sky again and Pure look to be a decent option.
Anyone know if they've a offer for 1Gb too?
Not eligible for NBI customers.
pure telecom 29.99 per month for 12 months for 500mb fibre. deal on onebigswitch.ie
@adventures I'm out of contract and was going to move to sky. Are you on the 500 meg fibre or the 75meg plan? Their terms said the 75mb (superfast) is going up by €5 in april and i can't find any mention of the €5 extra on 500mb (ultrafast).
I am with Vodafone fiber for 35 a month. Contract up in April. On the chat just there they offered me 30 a month for 12 months then moving to 40 a month.
SKY are emailing customers "We are contacting you to inform you about some upcoming changes to your pricing. Your total price change is €5.00,"
Please email a complaint to Comreg: consumerline@comreg.ie ROI-complaints@sky.ie
I signed up for your 30 euro a month for 12 months, but was charged 35 euros per month?
Activation was to start on the 8th of February, my end of contract, But you changed my activation date 25th of January,
So I am now paying 2 times more both EIR & SKY, why?
Today Wed 28/02/2024 I have an email saying my bill will increase by +€5.00,
I signed up for 30euros a month not 35 or 40euros a month for 12 months,
I called your customer service and spent over 1 hour to a call center in India, with little English and no solution.
Can you please refund me ? and put me on the 30euros a month as this is what I signed for?
SIRO is typically fibre optic cable supported via ESB transmission lines (may be overhead or underground).
NBI is fibre optic provided where commercial providers won't go (eg OpenEir), so normally the two are exclusive of each other. But there are examples where SIRO have overbuilt and you may end up with both.
FTTC is your old phone line connected to a cabinet up to a couple of km(providing a VDSL). Unless you still have an active phone line (often decommissioned when you have FTTC installed), then you probably wont have access to OpenEir (may be the OpenEir database has not been updated to reflect this). (I stand to be corrected on this.)
Try them for mobile phone inclusive .I got 500 mb and mobile for €30 for 6 months and €40 for the next 6 months.
The mobile is the Red plan so unlimited and great for travel. Sweet deal.
Thanks for that, both SIRO and NBI say I can connect - didn't know that it could be both, though it was an either or thing?! Strangely OpenEir says I can get Fibre to the Cabinet (with speeds up to 100Mbps) even though I currently have Fibre to the home and speeds up to 500Mbps
Put your Eircode in each of the website:
SIRO: https://siro.ie/
OpenEir (Majority of FTTH): https://www.oebroadbandchecker.com/
NBI: https://nbi.ie/map/
Note: OpenEir website will also advise if you can get NBI.
Can someone tell me how do you know if you are with Siro or NBI? All I know if that I'm with Sky ftth.

New customers only
Other Information

Free installation and modem
12 month contract
Not available to National Broadband Ireland customers
Just put in any made up email to get past that screen. It’s €30/month offer for 12 months.
Sorry what is the offer for the broadband. Dont want to give them the email if it is an ordinary one. Im just asking in case you already know it. Thanks
Yeah - normally takes a couple of bills to get everything right. I can see this being a complete sh!tshow for this contract.
As for CPI+ increase being charged - agree 100%. I expect the worse and that it will be applied, so wanted to make sure I had something from them in writing rather than having to repeat the story multiple times to customer support agents.
3rd year with VF and the prices in email contract never match up with what they stated on the phone/discussed in chat. the time I questioned them on it, they said Don't worry, you will have the discount, sometime, the extra discount might not be reflected on the contract.
you will most likely have to get back on them again in April to have the CPI removed.
Out of contract with VF there last week. Was on €30/m 500Mbs plan and Im on National Broadband Ireland NBI network.
Offered me the current advertised offer €30/m for 6 month then €40/m for last 6 with usual BS spin of 'only because Im a loyal customer'. Asked to stop yanking my chain as its available to everyone via the VF website website. They actually wanted to argue with me that it was exclusive to me...anyhow time to do the rounds.
Contacted Pure - €45/m for NBI customers (Note - OBS offer above also not available to National Broadband Ireland customers). Too expensive.
Tried to switch to Sky €30/m 500Mbs 12 months via online but order wouldnt process. Contacted Sky customer support (Very hard to find a contact number - ended up head office number 0818719819) only to be told there is a technical issue switching to Sky on NBI at the moment. Was told it had been this way for a few weeks and issue was on Sky's side.
Eir €45/m 500Mbs for 12 months - no thanks. All the smaller ISPs were similar pricing or worse (eg 18 month contracts - WTF??)
So ended up going back to VF to haggle with them
After much back and forth with agents having to 'speak' with supervisors several times, I only managed to squeeze an extra €20 discount in a messy deal.
So its the original offer of €30/m for 6 month then €40/month for last 6 months with an additional €5/m discount for the first four months. Total cost = €400, so a 10% increase from previous 12 months. Also clarified twice that CPI+ increase would not apply to this contract which they acknowledged.
When I received the contact docs be email it had correct discounts, but noted CPI+ increase applied. Lodged a complaint via their website and got them to acknowledge via an email response that it would not apply until April 2025, which is fine as contract will be up for renegotiation in Feb 2025. Lodging via their complaint form was much faster than going back and forth with agents on the phone.
So for anyone on NBI - not a lot of good offers out there at the moment. But cant complain as 2 years ago I was stuck on patchy mobile wireless.
Might be of interest.
