amazing broadband/home phone deal from Sky!

Sky until you die

Nothing to do with MySky, use the number and say you missed a call from them.

You need your UAN - this can be found on your eircom phone bill or third page of your vodafone bill, its an 8 digit number

Sky until you die

Lines will close at 9pm and all callers after that will be told to callback tomorrow.

poolboy

Rang this evening 5 minute phone call now saving 42 euro a month from eircom. Unlimited broadband and off peak landline calls €10 per month. Broadband can't be any worse than I have and don't use the phone. It's a no brainer

i just know. Take it from me. The offer will come to an end by Friday at 9pm

Funny that you are so definite. The guy who rang me told me that the offers were finishing tomorrow (Wed) at 8.00pm.

Sky until you die

It's a def no brainer! Orders will be unable to be processed after 9pm.

Call again tomorrow, the lines shouldnt be that busy and even if they are - It's worth the wait!!

Its a sales pitch?

Ring the number so after 9pm and see will they process the order?

Orders will not go through past Friday and the free line rental offer is a trial for the launch. This will be gone after this week and people will be kicking themselves!!

Yeah, I'm in a contract with Eircom though, I signed up not so long ago.

Sky are gonna blow Eircom out of the water!! Best thing for us is that the others should lower their prices along the way.

No they wont to be honest, they will look to provide lines down the road and activate Eircom lines that are disconnected.

The current offer is to trial it and get people on board, test the waters so to speak.

There still looking for another 400 - 500 customers by Friday before 9pm

You must be a Sky TV customer to avail of it.

Does anyone know would I have time to reconnect my eircom line and tomorrow and give sky a call before the offer ends?

If you reconnect the eircom line, my understanding is that you are then in a contract and they will look to charge you an early termination charge top quit and join Sky. Ring them and find out if you are re-commiting to a contract?

The offer will never be as good again.

Eircon will make you sign a 12 month contract apparently. Magnet allow 1 month sign ups though if you can get them.

Read ^ on other thread.

Gee_G

I thought this was a great offer and I was waiting for the call but it seems they don't do any mobile minutes included in their packages. For my €55(I actually can't remember if it's more than that or not), I get 90mobile minutes.
Also, if you're breaking a contract with different company what's the fee dOes anyone know?

you cant, an engineer will need to be booked and that will take at least a few days to a week. By the time your box is installed the offer will end.

There will be more offers down the road but not as good as this!

No mobile minutes but thats what your mobile is for, No?

Mobile to mobile and landline to landline after 7pm until 7am and you will be fine.

No provider is offering free line rental, €10 unlimited BB and a talk package where you can phone 20 very popular destinations around the world for €7.50 per month, If its available in your area, you are looking at €17.50 per month fro 12 months - happy days!!!!

That would be what my mobile was for if I had even a small bit of coverage where I live!!

This is probably the road I'll have to go down too, is it the €45 a month broadband only option? How long would you have to stay with magnet then before you can switch to sky do you know? And is there any other costs involved besides the monthly amounts?

It says by my address the only service I can get is €58.99 but for me its well worth it if you can get a line connected and not have to sign a stupid long contract with eircom at a high rate Its a month to month contract and says you're free to cancel at any time

Ah-Watch

Rang Sky tonight and got them to sign up the landline for Broadband unlimited and always on calls during the day. She said it was €17.50 p/m . I jumped at the offer because I was expecting it to be €27.50 because someone said something about different exchanges. I've logged into My Sky tonight and all details are there and all, line rental, broadband unlimited etc. Pity I dont have a line connected in time for Friday and take up the offer myself

I ordered the parents services tonight but was looking into getting them myself in my own house. Its a new build, less than two years old and I never had a phone line so theres no active line for Sky at the moment to provide me with broadband

They told me there would be no interruption in service, so i dont think you should have a dead connection now.

Yeah, luckily this is not blocked in Ireland. I got this confirmed before I signed up!

just off the phone with them. Unlimited broadband with unlimited evening and weekend calls for only €10 a month, jumped at the deal!
Eircom was costing me €55 a month for 3mb, ridiculous so chuffed with sky.

I was told that I'd be getting that too.. yet my e-mail confirmation says Sky Broadband Unlimited for a tenner, and then a euro for Sky Talk.

clusk007

mine says the same but not going to lose sleep over it! fantastic deal

Basq

Oh yeah.. I know..

.. just thought it was strange that €10 was the amount quoted on the phone for the package yet this €1 popped into the confirmation.

Anyone else who availed of the €10 deal have this?

Yes. I got the €10 broadband and €7.50 anytime phone. I am also seeing this extra €1 charge. Not worried about it, still a lot cheaper than Eircom

From reading other posts people have asked Sky about the additional €1 charge and apparently it will be knocked off the bill. They probably charge the one euro initially to secure payment from credit cards etc

Could be it alright muffler..

The 1 Euro is for Sky Talk , I also missed that on the phone but here's the mail ...


Sky Broadband Unlimited, which offers speeds as fast as your line will go and totally unlimited usage - ....

Sky Talk - fantastic calling features at your fingertips

Sky Talk Anytime which offers unlimited1 calls to Irish landlines and unlimited calls to 20 popular international destinations including calls to USA, New Zealand and Australia. So your new package really does offer you all you need to keep you connected.

This does not include any offers that may be applicable. These will be reflected in your Sky bill when the products are active.

Sky Broadband Unlimited €10.00
Sky Talk €1.00
Sky Talk Anytime €7.50

Yeah.. but what I mean is I was told on that it was "Unlimited Broadband and evening and weekend calls to landlines for €10 extra a month".

I'm not gonna demand retribution over a euro for a Talk Package, but the conversation did not mention it.

it's just a charge for the talk, they said they had to put down a charge, but it is credited the next month, so you never really are paying the €1

All i want is broadband any idea what the price is and has anyone a number for sky :D

0818 719895 is the number, you have to have a sky account, and a phone line with no current contract on that

Ghandee

I'm miffed.

Why am I getting billed (as are some others) @ €27.50 per month, yet others are saying €17.50?

I have all that so what am I looking @ price wise

just off phone from rep - the service is not availilble to non sky customers at the moment, but it will be after the trial is finished. The Service is due to be launched officially in March allegedly. I assume at higher prices.:( Stuck with vodafone for now.

2smiggy

ring and they will offer you the different packages available. i went with free evening calls for €0 and unlimited 5MB broadband for €10 a month. Although some are getting quoted €20 for broadband, might have to do with distance from exchanges ??? i'm in the dark really !

Different exchange so different prices. I accepted the €27.50 one as I'm rural and they said it costs more to run the rural lines than urban lines. Still saving a wedge of money.

hardy expect them to pay the line rental for you and give very cheap broadband if you haven't a sky account. they are no doubt taking a loss with the broadband, but making the money back with the tv packages

T-Bird

The 1 Euro charge is for Eircom rental, but I was told that it gets credited back to the account and they pay the 1 Euro to Eircom.

Just signed up, I'm in the "connect area" probably means low standard broadband as im not near big town (Sligo in my case) that gets fast broadband.

Prices are more expensive, but less than what I was paying for with Vodafone.

Unlimited Broadband 20.00
Unlimited talk is 7.50 (this includes international calls, didnt remember countries, but US mobiles were free?)
Line rental charges in full will be after 12 Months.

Because of the savings I then called 0818-719819 touch dials 4&3 to talk direct.
Upgraded subscription to HD for extra 5 Euro a month (special offer for 12 months)
Ordered the 2TB HD box (total charge including installation 79.00 Euro).

For me, all in all it works out about 15 Euro cheaper per month :-).

Thanks OP, saving approx 600 a year on this!! :D

If you not in a LLU exchange then it's €20 for the broadband as opposed to €10 in an unbundled exchange.

Carpenter

:D:D Just went with them 10 euro a month (We never us the phone anyway)=120 each year.
Eircom were 60 euro a month =720 each year :mad:

And the nice lady gave us 25 euro credit as well NICE 1 SKY

Anyone want to buy a eircom router

Awake&Unafraid

Posted in another thread, but does anyone know if I rang up and ordered the broadband and phone, would sky switch my landline back on? We left eircom last year.
