Temporary broadband?

Pameyres · 13-07-2014 05:33PM #1

Morning all,
My tenants have recently moved out and all tv, broadband etc have been disconnected. My family will be staying there for the next 6 weeks and we need either a tv/broadband/phone bundle or at least just broadband.

I'm totally confused about the best way to do this as I don't live in Ireland so I'm not familiar with the system. From what I can gather it's possible to get Magnet without a contract but I've been reading bad reviews and am now a bit hesitant to go forward with them.

I could sign up to UPC for a bundle deal but the next tenants may not be interested in taking over the contract and the penalties for early termination are quite high.

We need a good broadband deal as we all use Netflix a lot and my teenagers are constantly connected.

Could anybody suggest a solution or recommendation please.

Many thanks.

Go with Magnet as they do no contract internet for €47 per month up to 100Mb.

Depending on how far/near you are to a cabinet your speed will vary.

I'm around 200 metres from the cabinet and I get a stable 94/18.

As for TV just stick with Netflix as Sky/UPC are both 12 month contracts.

Only thing is as far as I know Magnet charge a 50 euro cancellation fee on those 30 day contracts. Mobile prepay broadband would be another option but it may not be fast enough.

Thank you all. It seems Magnet will be my best bet. If I go ahead with it I'll post back on how it goes.
