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
48.ie is 12 or 12.99 i think still.
They're on the 3 network.
Gomo (eir): €12.99/€14.99.
48 (Three): €12.99.
An Post Mobile (Vodafone): €12.99
ClearMobile* (Vodafone):€12.99/€14.99.
*speeds limited to 10Mb
Thanks
I thought an post were speed limited too.
5mb limit afaik.
No mention of any speed restrictions on the An Post website that I can see anyway. I could be wrong though.
Only mention of limits is 50GB 4G+500Mins on the €12.99 plan
That's what an post say on their physical leaflets.
they seem to have removed the capped speeds. Not a bad deal then but I’ve found Vodafone network is gone to the dogs the past few years
did you get any feedback on sky broadband? i am interested too.
considering fibre optic to the house is common, sky or eir or vodafone or pure - does not matter i guess (if things are working fine)
I find Sky grand. Had 500mb fibre for the past 12 months with 99% no issues. On 1gb now and still going strong.
I've just started to move from Sky. Cancelled TV and they won't help with Broabdband deals unless I keep the TV, it will become €70 per month just for broadband. Eir are €34.99 with a €100 joining credit so Net to €26.65(CPI Price increase in April of course). Silly for Sky, I would have stayed with them(BB only) even if it was €45 but they said €70 and I'm not in contract for either service so gave them notice of 31 days for TV and I don't even need to speak to them to port my Broadband.
Cancel and sign up in other half's name if you have one. Then you will get new customer offer.
True, but as I just need broadband now then that would involve a downtime in service unless somehow we could end a contract and start a contract on the same day with Sky. Working from home puts a stop to that. Also seeing as the Sky current offer for broadband is €40 PCM and Eir is €34.99 PCM but also €100 joining bonus then Sky even for that much trouble isn't worth it.
sky is €30 per month for 1gb for new customers. If you can hotspot for a week or so then you can get it. Otherwise yes you’re out of luck
Currently coming up to contract end with pure broadband(€35 pm) - can't fault them either. Tempted by Eir €100 offer,also looking at 3 (who I'm with for phone) half price offer. Any advice?
I don't think sky allow that. You can do it with VM, sky work on the address not the person.
Or get the 3 deal and use their router after contract (which they give you) with an unlimited data SIM(don't know if it would be locked), that's what I was thinking of doing???🤔
Yep, you could do that either, although if you get the 15e a month three hero plan (if still available) it would be cheaper to buy your router over the comparable 24 months and pay for that plan.
Benefit of doing it all yourself is that you can check with comreg which provider gives you the best coverage in your area and you can also sign up to different mobile providers if you buy an unlocked 5g router.
Last week, Vodafone were doing a deal if you signed up via their chat box, not sure if its still running:
Gigabit 1000 (Siro network) for €30 per month for 6 months, and €40 thereafter. Gigabit 1000 (Open Eir network) for €30 per month for 6 months, and €50 thereafter.
I noticed that in my housing estate their contractors or representatives are calling door to door trying to get people to sign up with €25 for the first 6 months on the Siro network.
not a deal query - can we ditch SKY or eir modem box and connect their ONT box directly to my Unifi Dream machine router? or is it possible to turn eir or sky router to bridge mode? currently have virgin coaxial modem in bridge mode.
virgin fibre guy was at home today for installation and he said there is no ONT for virgin, so the fibre goes directly to virgin modem (black box). is that correct?
my current setup has my unifi router in attic. a cat6 runs from ont point to attic. i dont want to keep any modem at the front door where the ont point is installed for fibre entry inside the house.
Anyone any experience doing this with Sky bb? Currently paying €40 for 1Gb and happy enough. But obviously if I could get the same speeds for a tenner less every month...!
Locked in contract with pure telecom at the moment so I haven’t switched back but I switch between pure telecom and sky every year for best deal. No issues with sky when I’ve been with them. No downtime when switching between the two either.
ring pure and check if they can offer you anything, I think they have recently started offering discounted plans to existing customers.
3 hero plan is long gone I am afraid!! Great deal at the time
With Eir and contract up today, rang Thursday gone and they wouldn't give the current offer to me, I told them to cancel and id move to another provider so they did.
My question is, can I sign up again to avail of the offer using my wife's name,and if so does anyone know the timeline on how to go about this so there's no loss in service, I mean I'm assuming they will say theres issue to switch over without loss as it's going to be using the same line from the node.
If anyone has successfully done it this way please drop an explanation on the timeline and if they ran into any issues considering my current line is still active for 28 days. But will want it activated for new account in wife's name. Thanks all for reading
Once i played similar game. Got disconnected from Vodafone, went on holiday, came back two weeks later and nobody is connecting to old broadband line. I was gobsmacked! Mine was old 100mb through telephone line.
what?
I’ve done this with several providers over the years, I normally organise the new contract a few days before expiry of the current contract
Appreciate that @OmegaGene I'll stick with this plan then, thanks.
It looks like they cut the cord going to my house or something, because nobody simply will not connect me back to the network.And after numerous chats i gave up and went wireless, which turned out to be cheaper and faster but at the expense of latency.
