    We have been with Eircom for years and are on a 7Mb line (Eircom website states July 2016 for eFibre)

    Eircoms line works at 7Mb and the price is €104.75/two months inc vat (home phone we never use and broadband). We negotiated this price down from €121/two months

    Sky are offering €60/two months for 9 months and €100/two months thereafter. Router has a 200 foot working radius for wireless and no lag when using up to six devices with a free upgrade to fibre when ever it comes available (dont hold your breath with Eircom)


    Question: Would you change to Sky over Eircom. Really need help on this. What are the experiences with Sky?

    Sky don't do fibre.

    Wifi range will be the same, international regulations limit transmit power.

    6 devices on 7Mb? Not gonna be great, performance will be identical to your current setup.

    Eircom and vodafone actually do fibre, stick with them.
