Broadband switch deals

All of the current offers are set to expire on 1/Dec so 500Mb will go from €30 to €35, 1Gb from €40 to €45 and 2Gb/5Gb will stay €50. These are 1 year contracts, with 2 year contracts set to go back to an additional €5 dearer.

I'm not sure about Bonkers but all offers are available in store and if you do it in person now we can keep pushing the install date forward whilst placing the order so that you "lock in" the discounted price. We can pick whatever date your current contract expires.

For any siro switchers out there, digiweb have 1Gb for 29.99 a month on switcher.ie

This is already the case for providers who don't state any fixed price increase in April within the contract when signing up, like Virgin Media, Sky etc. They can still increase prices but you have the option to leave if they do.

So it will be good to see come in. Even if a price increase is mentioned as part of the ordering process, you can still cancel when it does increase.

This is fantastic news. The whole yearly mid-contract/CPI incresse is one of the most consumer-unfriendly practices in years! It's the main source of complaints we receive in eir.

I just had a visit from Eir sales lady offering me €29.99 for 12 or 24 months 500mb, plus €4 increase in April. I'm currently paying Pure €55 a month for the last 6 months of an 18 month contract. She said Eir will cover the €150 cancellation fee set by Pure. Has anyone availed of this offer and if so was it pain free to switch. They can provide the mobile sin for €9.99 and that's cheaper than the Gomo I have. The saving's would be welcome but I have a mental issue about breaking a contract. Cheers.

They won't pay the breakage fee, be very careful what sales people say to you, they're feckers for giving prices before Vat as well personally I'd steer clear.

It's been approved by cabinet but is not in quite yet and mightn't be in by April.

She did not tell me that. I have plenty to think about. Thank you.

Have to say I am really annoyed with Pure telecom, their new business offer is €40 for 1gb on NBI. My contract is up for renewal and they are giving me a "loyalty" price of €55. When I asked why is can I not get the €40 advertised on their website, they just said that is for new business.

Nice to see the appreciate loyalty.

Any good offers at the moment for 1gb on an NBI line? I am finding a few providers charge different rates for NBI which is frustrating.

Thanks to this thread for highlighting that I should be looking around for Broadband.

Had been out of contract with Eir for a long time and never looked into switching. Was paying way over the norm for 500mb Broadband at €88 quid a month.

Have just signed up to Digiweb 1Gb broadband at €29.99 per month.

Thanks for all the information all.

thinking of joining them, did you have to pay the setup fee?

Haven't got it installed yet but I'll test the speed when I do.

No mention of a set up fee when signing up, I'll call them and ask.

I just got keys for a new build in donabate last week and have been trying to sort broadband. Some neighbours have already been in touch with sky/virgin and have planned for it to be installed after Xmas however on bonkers and switcher my eircode is still showing that theres no fibre available when these houses some a couple of meters away have had no issues. Anyone know what I should/can do?
