Moving from Smart Telecom

mullalliman

HI,
I'm looking to get fibre broadband, and I'm currently on Smart Telecom.
I was wondering are you offering any broadband only packages. I live in Letterkenny, and the eircom website tells me I am able to get the efibre line.
I rang the sales team and they told me that no Broadband only packages are available and that the best deal for me as €50 a month, however I've heard of others being able to get an unlimited data broadband only (no phone) deal for €40 a month. 
Can you tell me if there is actually a broadband only deal?

Thanks.

There is through Vodafone

That plan costs €35 if you are not a Vodafone customer and is over a minimum 18 months, there are also extras(installation and modem costs) unless you sign up for the 24month contract! There is also a limit to the unlimited usage which is 300GB

Sorry yes, 35 Euro's is what I pay.

300 cap alright no mention of any cap on Eircom.

Eircom charge 60pm

Vodafone        35. so if you're downloading over 300 a month you can add another 150 gb for 5.99 still works out 19 pm cheaper than eircom.

Eircom make you pay for using the phone which most people don't want.

BTW im only on 12 month contract for 35pm.

I'm also not going to get fibre, so 6mb is all I can get since 2006.

Maybe there are installation costs but 60pm won't be long adding up.

See, I rang vodafone, and they told me I had to go on their non fibre package. They said my line wasn't able for it. But eircom says it is.

The Eircom and Vodafone says I'm capable of getting up to 24 mb which a few months ago said only up to 7, so of course when I rang they both said I can only get 6 max as the exchange isn't upgraded nor is there any plans to.

I was given this map, https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1M_lYcvMkt7xIqqSa43TdS1s25oRqtA2JgpxAkYM#map:id=4

and I was told it had all the exchanges that were upgraded to VDSL. My local one is less than 300m away. So unless the map is incorrect, I don't understand how there could be a problem.

Hi mullalliman,

 

Would you like to PM me your details and I will check Fibre availability in your area?

I will also check what packages are available to you.

 

Thanks
