    Hi Eircom,

    On 14/01/2015 I contacted Eircom via twitter to check if my eFibre-only only account would be affected by the price changes that were reported in the media. The twitter team asked me to contact 1901 to verify this.
    I called 1901 to cancel the account if they could confirm that the price was going to go up and was told that eFibre-only was not affected.

    Since then I have been watching my bill closely, and last week I received an Eircom bill and found my broadband had gone up by 2 euro.
    I rang 1901 today to cancel today and was not allowed to cancel as I was told that I received a notification that my price was going up and it was too late to cancel. I have not received any letter.


    I have opened a complaint, can you please follow up here as I either want to have the price restored or the contract cancelled?


    Thx.

    Hi cork_south

    If you would like to PM me your eircom account number I can check if investigations have completed however the official judgement on this complaint must be made by the complaints team.

    Thanks

    (edit)

    Hi Michael

    I see that we see you had contacted by the complaints department today and they advised that the contract will remain in place. I can also see that Amber has advised you of this in Twitter today too.

    I can confirm that the complaints teams decision on this cannot be overturned however should you wish to appeal further you will need to contact the communications regulator (comreg).

    I'm sorry I cannot do more

    Apologies Michael, I edited my last post to reflect you had contacted complaints - I see you have been Tweeting Tracey @eircom and that correspondence would be the most up to date and accurate reflection of the current status.
