    I had Vodafone FTTC before and see no difference tbh but I'm only streaming and surfing really, nothing too intensive. Get homeplugs if you're worried about wifi.

    At my friend's place she signed up to pure is working fine so far, just looked on their website and their latest offer is all the way down to 24 a month with a * next to it, so could be the lead in price, must be for season of the blackfridayness.

    That's 24 for 6 months then 50 after, 18 month contract. There are better deals to be had.

    With €30 setup fee works out at 450 for the first 12 months. Pure 30 for 12 months with free activation is €360 for first 12 months. With eir you do get their sports package so I'm sure it would be a better choice for some but if all you want is broadband then Pure is the best around atm.

    Have you a link for the 35 euro for 12 months?

    From what I can see, it says 35euro for 6 months and then 55 euro after that

    That 35e a month looks a great deal . How do you get to watch the sports on tv. Do you still need a sky box?

    I'm with Eir atm and the contract is up next week and I'm tempted to switch to Pure. Does anyone have experience of switching from Eir - do they stop billing at the switch date (as I was advised) and will the activation fee still apply as I am already with Eir.

    I just got my fibre bb activated 2 days ago with Pure having left Eir. No activation fee and final Eir bill to be sorted out yet but I'll update here when I get it.

    What is involved in the activation/set-up? I have no phone line or anything at present and the information on the site confused me a bit re needing a phone line and what is required for installation/set-up. Is there a cost, or do they come out and set up for free?

    Thanks

    You will need an active line but I dont know if Pure will arrange that or not and what, if any, additional charges would apply in that situation. Pure, just like Vodafone and Sky among others, use the Eir infrastructure so there's never a problem with switching between those providers once you have the active line.

    Once you have an active line Pure post out the modem and its self install which only takes a couple of minutes. The most awkward part is then linking other devices to it via wifi - PCs/laptops, tablets, mobile phones etc but again it doesnt take long to connect by entering the new access key into the various devices.

    I got Pure in without an active line. Was with Vodafone till 6-7 months ago then canceled with no good deals about. Pure sent me a modem and a KN engineer called around a couple of days later and installed it. No fees.

    Well, you can certainly order it but before using the fibre BB you do need an active line otherwise you have nothing to connect the modem to. :)

    Is it just because of the price that you are thinking of switching ? Just wondering as I am thinking of changing to eir with their offer

    I am with sky at the moment which I cant fault (except the price) :(

    What are they like to deal with . Were you happy with modem/service they provide


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,973 ✭✭✭Barr


    I've already given my notice and the service is down for cancelation. It's a relief to be honest as Im sick of the horse trading with sky over price.

    Also Eir giving the sports which is a huge draw for me.

    Its early days yet as I've only had it since Friday last but so far it seems to be ok. I do notice the speed (wired from router to PC) a little down on what I was getting with Eir but I'll leave it a few days before I contact them about it. With Eir I was getting around 75mb but now its about 65 - 67 approx. Wifi upstairs is running close on 50 so cant really complain about that.

    Anyone know if the 30pm Pure deal is still available?


  • Registered Users Posts: 961 ✭✭✭mjp


    Where would I get best broadband deal for 4 months where I'm not tied into a contract. Moving out of my apartment in April and contract up with virgin in January. Need speeds of about 20mb speeds for my android tv box.

    It looks like it’s increased to €35 per month for 12 month contract, including anytime calls to Irish landlines. Have a look at bonkers.ie or switcher.ie.

    I changed from Eir to Pure (when the €30 offer was available). So far so good :)
