Broadband switch deals

Half the posts here are more for somewhere else than bargain alerts if we go down that road, I just find it curious that posts are removed with no notifications to posters or anything.

May be of value to someone:

Eir contract out on Monday for FTTC. FTTH has been available since Feb, signed up with Pure on €30 OBS offer for FTTH
Had Circet out today for install, I had a duct which they feed the fibre cable through blocked.

Was informed that Eir/Sky/Vodafone all will pay for the Civils team to do the ground work required to unblock - Pure won’t.

Ended up cancelling with Pure, rang Eir Loyalty team and was offered new customer rate of €34.99 for the FTTH 500mb product to stay, took that…

Agent on the phone asked me about install date for FTTH and confirmed appointment but nothing in writing yet, will ring again next week to confirm.

I have FTTH from NBI line. Is the change of provider a seemless transaction if I go for a better deal? New provider new box??

It's actually a very good router I've never had to touch it since the day of installation, it has WiFi 6 which the fritzbox doesn't have that's why they're using it.

No bother, I'm delighted with the Pure service. I have the router plugged into a smart socket which was scheduled to power off for 10 minutes weekly when I had VM, I disabled the schedule and never had to use it.

Anyone have a number for Eir loyalty team?

My Eir BB year contract expires in August. I also have 4 mobiles on the account. Does anyone know if I change BB providers can the mobiles still carry on with Eir?

Virgin tv and bb due next month and virgin only offering what we are on. Initial bill was in my name then moved it to wife now might move it back to my name. Take it I'll get new customer prices even though address is the same? Any existing customers try to negotiate new deal with virgin

Only issue I have is changing all the WiFi pw for all the WiFi appliances etc around the house hue etc. Last time virgin gave us a new modem had to return old one it was right Pain. I have own Asus router and getting virgin to change mode pain.

Take it I can just change new password to old password and no need to change all pw for appliances ie hue, alarm, Alexa?

Also I thought sky where sharing virgin lines yet when I insert eircode into sky website it's not available? Virgin have monopoly in my estate

Any existing vodafone customers get a good price to stay with them once the first year offer is over?

BBrilliant . Did you have to threaten to leave/get as far as the cancellation/ customer retention team?

VM still does not have 2GB in D15 yet. And Vodafone is cheaper. Probably switch next month.

I’m just out of contract with Eir 500mb FTTH I gather the price will go up to €74 per month (includes landline) I’m happy to move supplier and lose the landline - are sky the only provider that will not require a reinstall and/or change of modem? Don’t want the hassle of a full fibre installation again.

Was on 35e/month with Virgin, went up to 70e so cancelled it at start of month. Got a text yesterday for 35e/month for 12 month contract so now I'm back.

Had an interesting few phone calls with eir over the last few day ,I'm on the 1 gig broadband and was stuck in a contract for two years that went from €45 to €63 , so I rang up to cancel ,

First guy I was onto was giving me a great bargain (in his opinion. ) of €73 a month but this was only on a two year contract , I politely declined and told him I want to cancel,

After cancelling I got a phone call from the eir retention team , went down to €55 a month still on a two year contract , told him nope and said I was going with pure , he then proceeded to tell me that I can't get Pure on Open Eir fibre , and that eir would be the cheapest option , I told him this was BS and said no thanks ,

Next day I get a call from the tier 2 retention team and he went down to €45 but still only for a two year contract,

I told him nope and said one year only, eventually he gave in and gave me a 12 month contract @€45 which I could renegotiate next may for the same again 🤔

I took this offer and transferred two mobiles from gomo to eir which saved me another €10 so effectively I get the broadband for €35 ,

So I'm still with eir but I'm happy enough with what I got .
