    I'm living in Waterford and about to enter an 18 month contract with EIR for TV, BB and Phone. This is very affordable for me at the moment because my rent is reasonable, however I may decide to move to Cork or Dublin in 6-12 months time. Its not as simple as just transferring my service because I may not be able to afford my own place and may have to house share, since rents are considerably more expensive in these areas especially if its Dublin, if I house share the most likely situation is that there will already be a service from some  set up in the place etc, so in this situation I would have no choice but to cancel my contract. All I need to know is am I liable for the full 18 months if I break earlier or is there a break clause fee?

    Hi JakeArmitage,


    Thanks for getting in touch. 
    If you agree to an 18 month contract this contract will stand unless you choose to move your service to another location.
    If you break this an early cessation fee would apply.

    Can you clarify what you mean, what I think you mean is if I cancel and Im living in the same address I would be liable to pat the remaining 18 months but If I moved to another location the contract would still be in place an early cessation fee would apply. I would only want to cancel if I left waterford city, how much would the cessation fee be if I left for Dublin or Cork

    If you move and can take the service to the new location, no early termination fee applies and you can use it in the new location.

    In that case you'd have to break the contract early and pay the termination fee. I think Eir charge €150.

    Is this honestly a genuine question or are you joking? Of course the contract still applies

    Jake you should sign up with Magnet as they offer contractless service but you'll pay install fees and a higher rate.
