    I have been with Vodafone for years - since BT days. Had awful hassle re bills - eventually got it sorted and was well looked after til recently - now bills are incorrect again and am getting no satisfaction. I am self-employed, work from home and must have decent Broadband. I hear from relative of hours hanging on for an answer from Eir. Is there any other decent landline/broadband service provider out there?

    Virgin or Sky are the only ones that are worth it, everyone else is impossible to deal with

    Hi Op
    have a look at this comparison on bonkers.

    https://www.bonkers.ie/blog/broadband-phone/eir-vs-sky-vs-virgin-media-vs-vodafone-how-do-they-compare/

    should help you make up your mind.

    I moved to Virgin in December after many many years with Eir - couldn't be happier.

    Thanks for all that - Virgin looks good on the bonkers.ie site - what is involved when it says you have to instal the service yourself? Is that something my phone-hugging teenagers could do?

    When I left Sky, because they didn't have Fiber at the time and Virgin did, It was a simple 5 minute phone call and no issues, you must have been very unlucky
