    Considering they can't install efibre when they say would, I'd advise to stay away.I am anyway

    According to Silicon Republic Video Linky, you can get Quad Play for €60 pm, Phone, Fibre, TV & Emobile!

    I certaily will be looking onto this and the it actually looks like a slick interface! Will shake things up a bit! Not to everyones iking but what is these days?

    Can any Eircom Reps give us full details on the Quad play details please?

    Interesting. 

    Does the 60 EUR include line rental? 
    Which eMobile package? 
    Is the boradband unlimited? 
    How long is the contract for?

    I'd say all the lower packages for the €60

    I alrady have eFibre and all packages include line rental

    Contracts are for 18 months

    This Bundles should make it clearer.

    Still like to see a breakdown of quad packages

    Don't like the way they are charging for RTE Two HD, BBC One & Two HD in their HD pack

    This link says nothing about eMobile! It's tv, broadband and landline ONLY! Disappointing that they won't take first mover advantage on a quad play offering before UPC get their MVNO up and running!

    RTE Two HD is available free of charge to all customers able to receive HD channels, but I'm surprised that TG4 HD isn't the same.

    Hi Guys
    thanks for posting and your interest in eVision.
    At the moment all information available to us is contained on the link posted above ( link here)
    But we will certainly chase more information on Quad play, as this appears to be one area needing clarification.
    Do post your questions on eVision here and we will get answers where possible.
    Tony

    Any info on whether or not Eircom is in negotiations for the missing sky entertainment & sports channels channels such as Sky Living, Sky One & Atlantic?

    It seems strange that Sky will allow Eircom to supply Sky Sports 1 & 2 but not Sky Sports 3, 4 and most importantly Sky Sports News.

    If eircom gets the pricing right it is something I would be very interested in as I have 3 different companies at present supplying my mobile, broadband & TV.

    I would hope that there will be continuous negotiations to expand the channels already available. I couldn't imagine anyone leaving Sky for eVision if there is no Sky One, Atlantic, Living & Sports 3, 4 & News channels.

    Hi Brewie
    We do feel that our prices will be very competitive, you can see more info here eVision

    We do not have any info on negotiations on future channels but there will certainly be more added as time goes on.
    We will be happy to post any of these development here but all info will be posted to our website also.

    Thanks for your post, it is great to get feedback on our new service..

    Hi all
    I'm interested in a quad-bundle too - I currently have broadband & phone. As far as the TV goes, I'm a little underwhelmed by the channel options as currently outlined - I would prefer all the Sky sports channels and I notice ITV is missing as well as Sky news.
    I'll be very interested to see what the bundle pricing is when it is released.

    Also, will there be continuity of service guaranteed ? Currently if my router gets moved an inch either side of where it sits, my wifi signal drops completely. (This was superbly diagnosed by an eircom tech rep when frankly I didn't believe him!) If this happens with the TV signal, there will be murder in our house!!

    Hi jd

    Yes the power-line adapters are used to boost the wifi across the house to the multiroom boxes  and devices.

    I know it is not ideal in some cases depending on the lay out of the house.

    Thanks, Mark

    No, I'm talking more in terms of something like

    You can move the telephone unit to the sitting room during the fibre installation, iirc. Those powerline adapters are fantastic for feeding internet through the house.

    I presume they just replace the wall socket if your cable into the house is ok.Don't think they will go to that extreme for someone.Wouldn't be too easy in my house .

    I'm on about internal wiring and not the line outside the door, just to clarify. There is a max distance, again if I am remembering correctly!
