    Hi,

    Can someone clarify this for me -

    I have tested my phone for eir fibre and it comes up my home is now enabled for efibre.

    I am currently on sky broadband and speeds are average 4 mb and I rang sky to tell them of this and they informed me that speeds would increase only to 7 mb and would not be worth my while changing for a extra charge of €10 a month on top of what I already pay.

    I rang eir to see about changing and have been told that I will receive speeds of 100 mb - realistically I know this speed won't happen but even one fifth would do me!!!

    I rang back sky to state what eir had said and they still stated it would be only 7 mb with fibre.

    I know sky uses the eir infrastructure.

    Can anyone please tell me how sky and eir are so different - are sky been honest (I mean they are going to lose me as a customer) or are eir giving me a sales pitch - if they are both using the same wiring how is it so different - sorry not terribly clued in, if someone can explain this please do?????

    Totally confused. Thank you 🙄

    BTW Pamela, there are several users who have sent you messages to you "visitors messages" section on your profile, they include account numbers and all manner of personal details.  These users have clearly mistaken that section as your PM section.  It would be advisable to delete them, if you are not able to delete them, a mod could do it.

    Thanks TireeTerror,
    I'll arrange to have them deleted.

    I'm going through my PM's now and will be back to you shortly. :)
