Broadband switch deals

Good deal. That's the exact offer I got for renewing a 500mb contract with 1gb at €45/€55pm. As I said to them your business model is designed to reward customer disloyalty which seems bizarre to me

I would be more understanding of that approach if the contract would roll over at current rates but if I didn't actively engage with VF to renew my contract I would move onto an out of contract undiscounted rate of €80pm. You'd want to be fairly oblivious of you finances to allow that to happen

For anyone thinking of leaving Eir: I was on the 500Mb plan which was 34.99 when I signed up and now 39.99 with the CPI increase. I just rang Eir to cancel as I was planning on taking Digiweb up on their 1GB Siro plan for 39.99 a month and Eirs counter offer was 34.99 for 12 months and they upped the speed from 500Mb to 1Gb. Yes it includes CPI increase but he did say you're allowed recontract 2 months early which will negate the increase for 2 months roll around next year which I'm happy about. I'm no Eir fan by any means but was shocked by how easy this was and took exactly 20 mins from dialling 1901 to resigning and ending the call so I'm happy.

Same issue with Vodafone, the increase was 7.6% but on the undiscounted figure of €75 and not the actual monthly payment of €35

Is anyone else who upgraded to eirs 1gb broadband having issues with speed. I'm getting under 200mb. With the 500mb package I had the last 5 years I got 480 consistently.

They reset my modem over their system yesterday as there was a technical issue with their broadband.

3 years with VF , first 2 years I contracted and they removed it, 3rd year they just agreed to fixed contract price for the year and since you stay on that price afterwards , told me to just recontract each April going forward to avoid it, If I wished to remain with them.

Seems to be more to that story. In general switching is not that much hassle.
