    Yes you can get it with Sky because I got a text offering me the deal on Sky. If you were with Eir it wouldn’t apply as you’d get it for free

    Great deal to be fair.
    I signed up in May to a 2 month half price contract so just checking with them if I cancel next week can I resign up with this offer.
    If they wont let me I might just pick a different viewing card and swap them in the house. Does anyone know if that's possible?

    They are generally no problem. You call them, say you want to quit, they offer you €16.99 or so instead of €27/month to stay. You accept or just cancel.

    That's true. Although if like me, you plan to cancel for July and August next year, it works out cheaper on the monthly rate.

    Does anyone know what they are like if you cancel after the 3 months...will they haggle for another deal?

    They will haggle but usually drop to about €20 per month

    ah fair enough, paid 225 last year myself and it's up next month.

    cancelled sky on monday and talk about haggling from their side
    told them I would never pay for hd again (reduced it from 17.50 to 10) when bt were giving it for no extra
    their argument was that bt was only 720p v their 1080p
    dont care what it is as long as it isn't sd esp for sport

    Just in case people arent aware, if you switch to Eir broadband you get eirsports for free. I recently switched for €35 a month on a 12 month contract. That deal seems to be finished but there are other offers available. Have had the BB in for a week or so now and its tip top.

    Been wondering about this. How do you get Eir sports if you don't have a TV box? Or does the router work as one? Cheers

    Interesting. I paid €199 last year (mulit-room) and cancelled a few weeks ago. Sub is not due to fall till late August however. They offered €225 but I said no thanks. Might be tempted with €199 if they ring closer to the date in August. Saying that, there is little on over the summer anyway.

    Cancelling was a doddle and I always find them ok to deal with on the phone.

    Don't they usually do a Black Monday yearly sub offer later in November?
