Broadband switch deals

It’s sky that I left. This is the standard with all companies like this. Your final bill will be a credit of whatever the part month left was. I have had to call eir(meteor) in the past however to instruct them to put the credit into my account instead of continuously sending me credit notes each month for 6 months.

Do you have to sacrifice hours of your life and incur hair loss when it comes to cancelling (like they do for Satellite cancelations) or are they more decent in that regard?

Vodafone have a €10 discount for the first 6 months of a 12 month contract which sounds like the best deal going.

500Mb - €30 for first 6 months, €40 after.

1Gb - €40 for first 6 months, €50 after.

Just got email from Vodafone advising price increase of 7.6% from April.

Was it free installation?

I also see this in the terms:

Sky Broadband Superfast: From the 1st of April 2024, standard price for Sky Broadband Superfast will increase by €5. Selected Fibre areas only. Speeds vary by location. 75Mb average download speed. No usage caps. External factors can affect speed.

Is there any equipment (ONT & ODP) left on the wall from when the previous tenant had fibre? If so you shouldn't have to worry.

Least you should be able to move before they increase their prices in April 2025.

I just ordered Sky myself, €40 for 1Gb.

I signed up for Pure 5 weeks ago and have had to call every week to inquire about the status, only to be told "next week" each time. On my last call, I was informed that the order had been cancelled in the system. I can't wait to hear what the issue is when I call next week. Anyway, if I don't hear from them again, I plan to call next week to cancel the order.

I can't wait to get away from Vodafone, had to call them every month to get my bill adjusted because they didn't want to stick to what was agreed, not to mention their POS equipment.

Anyone ever have any experience with being told that you can’t switch broadband from your current provider because there aren't any unused ports available on your hub?

I’m with Vodafone on an Eir line and Sky are telling me that I can’t switch to them when there's no free ports because it would be taking a port off Vodafone that they can't necessarily get back.

Seems very anti-consumer.

I wouldn't go from fixed line (sky / vodafone / eir etc) broadband to a wireless / LTE option.

Do you need to give the 30 day notice to cancel if out of contract?

Up with Vodafone at the end of the month and want to switch to Sky so just wondering if I can cancel with immediate effect on the 1st of April or if I need to give 30 notice now.

Also does anyone know if Sky use the same connection as Vodafone or Virgin?

Previous tenant might have had fibre from openeir rather than siro, they're different networks.

Ports at the FTTC exchange or cabinet, not your home router. It happens, not sure what to do as I've never lived in such a dense area like that.

If you were on fttc with sky itll be on the openeir network, so unless you get siro ftth or cable from virgin it'll likely be the same with anyone.
