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
Pretty much yeah, just go into the router and change the wifi ssd and password to match your existing setup. Everything should then connect as usual.
Virgin tv and bb due next month and virgin only offering what we are on. Initial bill was in my name then moved it to wife now might move it back to my name. Take it I'll get new customer prices even though address is the same? Any existing customers try to negotiate new deal with virgin
Only issue I have is changing all the WiFi pw for all the WiFi appliances etc around the house hue etc. Last time virgin gave us a new modem had to return old one it was right Pain. I have own Asus router and getting virgin to change mode pain.
Take it I can just change new password to old password and no need to change all pw for appliances ie hue, alarm, Alexa?
Also I thought sky where sharing virgin lines yet when I insert eircode into sky website it's not available? Virgin have monopoly in my estate
mobiles can carry on but you will loose any discounts over having them bundled with the broadband .
My Eir BB year contract expires in August. I also have 4 mobiles on the account. Does anyone know if I change BB providers can the mobiles still carry on with Eir?
What's available to you? Can you get ftth? I'm very happy with Pure, not a hitch since it was installed in April.
Anyone have a number for Eir loyalty team?
What’s the best offer around right now? Currently paying 80 with Virgin out of contract for 1gb…nearly afraid to go with Eir due to bad reviews (and their 4g looks to have better performance than their 5g going by Twitter).
So i am open to any suggestions if anyone has any.
No bother, I'm delighted with the Pure service. I have the router plugged into a smart socket which was scheduled to power off for 10 minutes weekly when I had VM, I disabled the schedule and never had to use it.
That's great to hear, thanks CoBo55!
It's actually a very good router I've never had to touch it since the day of installation, it has WiFi 6 which the fritzbox doesn't have that's why they're using it.
Has anyone been supplied with a Fritx box by Pure lately. I was disappointed to be supplied with a Huawei today in the post!
I have FTTH from NBI line. Is the change of provider a seemless transaction if I go for a better deal? New provider new box??
If you have working ftth why didn't the installer pull the fibre in with the now redundant copper cable, that's how my install was done.
May be of value to someone:
Eir contract out on Monday for FTTC. FTTH has been available since Feb, signed up with Pure on €30 OBS offer for FTTH Had Circet out today for install, I had a duct which they feed the fibre cable through blocked. Was informed that Eir/Sky/Vodafone all will pay for the Civils team to do the ground work required to unblock - Pure won’t.
Ended up cancelling with Pure, rang Eir Loyalty team and was offered new customer rate of €34.99 for the FTTH 500mb product to stay, took that…
Agent on the phone asked me about install date for FTTH and confirmed appointment but nothing in writing yet, will ring again next week to confirm.
moderators are probably to busy to message the author of every post they delete, you can always ask one of them and see what they say
Half the posts here are more for somewhere else than bargain alerts if we go down that road, I just find it curious that posts are removed with no notifications to posters or anything.
They didn't mention anything about a new router. I've had the same one since I moved in 3 years ago Gigabox shg3000. Should they be giving me a new one?
that would be more for consumer issues than bargain alerts im guessing
No, the posts I'm thinking of were giving people warnings about the customer service they can expect from Eir if something goes wrong.
Which router is provided for 1GB package?
That was a good deal, double the speed for a fiver less.
Probably due to the amount of non Bargain Alert related technical sh1tetalk.
Anyone know why posts are being culled from this thread with no notifications given?
Got Vodafone Broadband through Siro there €30 for 12 months for 1GB. Was an existing customer on €35 p/m for 500MB
Exactly, it's complete overkill I never seen a card that can take more than 1gig
I wander how many people are paying for 2Gbs lines that actually have the gear to make use of it. majority of High end gaming motherboards etc, come with Intel Gigabit Ethernet, to make use of higher speeds 10Gbs cards etc are sold separately.
had the eir installation guys (cirtec) today.
luckily there was a cat6 which came from my server room in attic to front door.
so they installed the 2 tiny boxes in the hallway at the front door. connected the cat6.
put the eir modem in the attic. so it worked fine in the end. have to try and see how is the performance between virgin 1gb coaxial and eir 1gb fibre
Yeah, it is absolute bullshit.
Smaller households, blah blah blah, who thinks up this marketing guff, 500 is more than enough for any household, if it was turned down to 250 nobody would notice, except with VF it's regularly zero then the winging starts 😊
