neacy69

Signed up this morning. Fantastic deal

Quick question. Im thinking of signing up but may be moving house in a couple of months. What would the story with the 12 month contract be then?

darkestlord

anyone know if you can sign up with sky even if you have eircom phonewatch.

brian ireland

I have phone watch and signed up Yesterday. They would have asked if it was i am sure. Years ago I couldn't get phonewatch because i was with UTV but that all changed a long time ago.

This is what they want you to do if changing provider apparently

If you have decided to move, call 1901 and choose the 'Cancel' option. Explain to the agent that you are moving to a different provider and that you need to give 30 days notice. They will give the relevant contact info to send th notification to and when the 30 day period has passed you can then process the order with the other provider.You will need your UAN (Universal Account Number) for the other provider which you can request gwhen giving notice.

At the moment yes

Wexy86

Just signed up, €10 - 12mb speed and in Wexford. They also advised tomorrow was the last day so get calling, no new contract for the TV confirmed also!!!

The rep advised they will move over the phone line and they will contact Vodafone so do I only have to cancel my direct debit?

So happy I came across this thread!!! €456 euro saved compared to vodafone:p

No, it will have been in the terms and conditions that you were entering a 12 month contract.

Voice recording of your conversation :rolleyes:

Thanks guys just signed up for unlimited landline and international and broadband for the handsome some of €17.50 p/m absolutely delighted!! She said it could take two weeks to deliver the modem due to the amount of people getting it!

UTV told me today I was still in contract until November, I said no way!!!! she then told me she would get the recording of me agreeing it.
I told her good look finding a n 8 year old recording of me agreeing a nine year contract.

PinkFly

Just off the phne to eircom she said under no circumstances was she gonna cancel the phone line that 30 days notice was needed!
Grrrr

More bulls**t from Eircom. If you are out of contract, and take the Sky offer, Sky will handle the porting process for you and there's sfa that Eircom can do about it. Sky has way more clout than debt-ridden Eircom in any case.

Plenty of people here have already switched from Eircom to SKY and are on SKY broadband with no BS, fluck what Eircom say.

I spoke to Vodafone and they told me that I didn't need to do anything [ but again this could be down to the length of time I've been with them, Ex BT ]
They said that Sky will indeed take care of cancelling for me.

greendom

Anyone know what time the Sky broadband office closes ? Wondering whether to call them now ?

PinkFly

Might give sky a little buzz in the morning and see if they can sort something out for me, my direct debit will be cancelled if not!

Just ordered this... €10pm for unlimited BB with free router
I am paying near €50 with Vodafone, great bargain...cheers!

Update

Lads, after reading through this thread, I decided to chance it and rang the no. listed here. I got through to a nice lady (turns out she from same village) went through the switch process. It couldnt be easier. She did a line test, which returned a 10MB "possible" speed, but explained that external factors would reduce speed, etc etc. It is only going to cost me e10 for this package, I cannot believe it, my Eircom bill on average is 60 euro, I mean a tenner, come on like.:D

Some points that might help ye:

• Ring the number listed here and say you registered with Sky bust missed a call from them - No issues here
• Call Center opened till 11 tonight - offer ending tonight. Its for the first 1000 customers only.
• If you are an Eircom customer and out of contract, you dont need to do anything. Sky have already agreed with Eircom that they will look after the transfer.
• 10 euro a month is for unlimited BB, uncapped and free weekend\evening landline calls plus calls to Sky call centers.
• There is an option for an extra e7.50 for unlimited landline calls, but I didnt bother to go for this.
• 2 weeks to receive the Modem
• A further 2 weeks before you will reach max speed. I was told to leave on router for the first two weeks for initial testing - as this is a trial offer, Sky want to make sure and run tests for the first 2 weeks.
• Once BB is up and running, it will take 2-3 working days before you will have a phone service.
• You can keep your existing phone number and are giving the choice to opt out of marketing calls (very handy)

Thanks all I can think of, hope this helps ye. Now hurry up and ring sky tonight

Don't assume that they wont have a copy of the recording. I was in the same position with Vodafone. I didnt realise I was in contract and I asked when it was initiated. They said that I agreed to a product on the phone and said the date and I chased the audio file, which they sent me. I was absolutely sure I was correct and that I didn't agree to anything, but I did in the call when I listened to it. Having said that, there was no verbal mention in the phonecall of my agreement signifying the start of a new contract, so I could probably have chased them on that technicality, but it took me months to get the recording and I couldn't have been arsed, and I was out of contract by then.

So yes, you have a chance, as long as you have patience!
