Broadband switch deals

had the eir installation guys (cirtec) today.

luckily there was a cat6 which came from my server room in attic to front door.

so they installed the 2 tiny boxes in the hallway at the front door. connected the cat6.

put the eir modem in the attic. so it worked fine in the end. have to try and see how is the performance between virgin 1gb coaxial and eir 1gb fibre

Exactly, it's complete overkill I never seen a card that can take more than 1gig

Anyone know why posts are being culled from this thread with no notifications given?

Probably due to the amount of non Bargain Alert related technical sh1tetalk.

Which router is provided for 1GB package?

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.

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.

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

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 .

It's 15 for folks now i think, we got an early deal.

exactly , except with the mobile phone included im paying a lot less than I was , to get the cheaper rate from pure telecom I would have to get connected through open eir ,pure on nbi are 45 for 500MB , im on nbi at the moment , so it was easier for me to do a deal with the devil rather than have a whole new connection , they're a shower of gangsters but the service was faultless for the last two years .

Mine was similar but they offered me 40e. Said no when Virgin have 35e plus one for all voucher of 100. Also didn't realise I didn't have to give 31 days notice if moving by doing UAN transfer.

My Sky package is up too (bb and TV). So I can switch supplier without penalty or delay if I use the UAN?
