Must I switch to Eir for fibre?

    I was recently visited by an Eir rep to inform me that my area was being upgraded to fibre. I was given the impression that I HAD to switch to Eir as my provider to guarantee my slot in the exchange or some such. Having been 'caught on the hop' I signed a provisional contract with a 14-day cooling off period. Given the substantial price difference I would prefer to stay with my current provider, Sky.
    Have I been hood-winked by some fast sales talk or is Eir operating a closed shop, delaying fibre access to other operators?


    Any thoughts?
