IOL trial or new eircom offer??

Thomas

Hi,

I signed up for the IOL 3month trial and because I only received my eircom account number today the order with IOL could only go through today. The salesperson said it was no problem giving my account number late and that I would still get the trial. But now I see the new eircom offer with no connection fee and only a 6 month contract. Should I cancel the IOL offer and sign up with eircom or continue as is?????

It's too early to say. At the moment since the upgrades, Eircom have the best package. IOL/UTV still have to react.

Thomas

true, iol and utv will no doubt at least match eircoms offer but if i take the 3 month trial now i'll become ineligible for the new offers from iol/utv.

Well iolBB better react soon, because with the way eircom are cost cutting their Broadband packages I may end up cancelling iolBB before the end of the 3months and crawling back to eircom.

When you take into account the install fee of €80 the eircom packages is better value over a 12month period.

Well I'm hopeing for a doubling of the CAP....so no doubling of iolBB CAP no iolBB contract with me!!!

You're lucky to be getting though. That offer ended last week. I rang about it today and it ended last friday. €90 install and 12 mth contract now.

Pity. the trial was very handy, specially with 2 phone lines.
Start with eircom 2 months free trial on Line 1. Then get IOL on Line 2 for 3 mths.
It takes about 1-2 months to get the cancellation number from Eircom if you want to switch to IOL.

Thats 5 months free BB.

Then get IOL on Line 1... 3 more mths...when that runs out get Eircom on Line 2 to finish the 10 FREE months Broadband.

You might say...why would you be bothered...€400 is what it would have cost, excluding installation ( if that asn't free).

I'm not a scrouge but i hate corporate bodies fleecing the public. This is one little man on his own getting as much out of them as he can.
