    Onebigswitch running a good offer with Pure Telecom

    Unlimited broadband and all day landline to landline calls. €25 pm for 12 months, 6 months at full price of €45. 18 month contract.

    Fair usage seems to be 1TB with €2.50 per 10GB over that. So that may be an issue for some.

    It’s a good deal for 18 months. But I think the Vodafone deal for 12 months just about pips it for 12 month costs.

    Vodafone: 20 x 6 months then 35 x 6 months. It’s a 12 month contract so you move to €45 per month once it’s up.

    If you go to their website, they have it for 35 per month on a twelve month contract, I think it works out a bit better.

    The offer works out an average of €31.66 over the 18 months.

    That's that deal I had with vodafone (45 a month) rang them the other day saying I was moving to the 35 sky deal...vodafone matched it today at 35 a month for 12 months :)

    Well, my deal was 25 a month for 6 then 50 a month for 6 months and got 5 euro off that 50 so was 45 for those 6 months... I probably could have got 30, I see there is two separate discounts on my account now "€5 off for 12 months" and "€10 off for 12 months"...maybe could have got two ten's there, I'll know next time.

    Thanks for lighting a fire under me.

    Just came off the phone with Vodafone. I've been with them for donkeys, but was put up to €50/mo recently. Was offered a fiver discount and said no. Retention team called back minutes later and I'm now on €35/mo now with unlimited calls on a 12 month contract.

    So the deal BBMcQ mentions is best right? Works out at €27.50 per month for the 12 months?

    Yes, on the assumption that you’ll get a deal somewhere in 12 months time.

    Do you know is it possible to opt out of this contract after 12 months without penalty?

    Vodafone, yes of course.

    Pure, no it’s an 18 month contract.

    Update on this.
    Ordered this in July. Still waiting.

    Seems their processes for ordering and validating orders are all over the place. Not a good start.

    Order on the phone
    Package confirmed with agent
    Call transferred to a 3rd party who reads the T&Cs
    Advised delivery in 7 days
    Receive confirmation email
    Receive confirmation letter

    Nothing

    Contact Pure 12 days later
    Told order hasn’t progressed because I hadn’t called them back to advise I was going ahead
    Order “fast tracked” for delivery in 7-10 days time.

    Identical email to the one I received in July received again.

    They admitted they can’t keep up with the volume of orders. Don’t like how they blamed me for the fact that their processes don’t work, but all telcos are infuriating so no surprises there. Once it works and I’m billed correctly I won’t care much.

    Just on this, I got this rate from them 2 weeks ago. I was already with them but just out of contract.
