Just to say it's not just Laya. My Dad got his renewal notice in from Avaya last week. He is currently on Business Plan Hospital + at the moment which has gone up to €1,346.70 (I think it was around €1k last year) so there was no way I was going to let him renew for that when I knew the plan I...

Maybe we should have a thread that lists these similar policies and every time we find one add it, at least that way we can direct anyone that checks AAM to look at the cheaper alternatives. Help each other narrow the search.

Laya are reducing the price of Connect Care from €1408.75 to €1260.25 per adult from 31/12/14 according to the HIA website news page. Still much more expensive than last year but it's better than the current price. I think they are introducing a new version too, Connect Care 150 but it's not...

I am just starting my search as I too am on Connect Care and will not be paying that for it next year. For what it's worth I was on Simply Health Excess the year before last but switched to connect care because it was virtually identical with a slightly lower excess and was either the same...

Hi Shank, In my opinion the LTV one is always better, you get a better rate because you have more equity in your house so you are less of a risk to the bank. Check some of the other banks mortgage rates, or somewhere you can compare them and you will see that the LTV's are always lower...

Thanks pj111. I checked and you are correct the excess is €1 for day to day. I got confused by the way it is compared against PMI 19 11 on the HIA website. I see now that a lot of their outpatient cover gives you an option of x amount with an excess of €200 or a percentage of x * y with a €1...

I am currently on plan PMI 19 11 from VHI having switched from whatever they renamed Plan B to after researching this site last year (One of the One plans). I didn't do it blindly, I compared a lot of plans but this plan had very similar cover for a fraction of the cost and also had day to day...

polo1, that bill sounds huge. Are you not on a bundled package? If you are that heavy a user of the phone I'd look into an unlimited pack with whatever provider you choose. As some of the others said you have to have an eircom line to switch to some of the other providers as they piggybank on...

I'm in Dublin 13 and my sister is in Dublin 5 and we both got it on the same day. I think there was a piece on the news about it yesterday or Friday as well. I only caught a bit of it but some councillor mentioned people only getting a couple of days notice of the price change and again...

Our standing charge is €100 reddanmm so depending on the frequency of use yours may actually be cheaper. It works out about the same if you have 12 lifts a year. I will definitely seek an alternate supplier as I don't like how Greyhound treats their customers.

I checked with my sister and she only got her's today too. Nice to see they still couldn't care less about their customers!

I just got home to find a letter from Greyhound telling me that the lift charges are increasing from €6 to €7 per lift from July 1st. I'm really annoyed by it, not because of the increase per se as I was half expecting it as it was mentioned at the time of the switch over (although not quite...

I think your DB pension is only guaranteed once you start drawing down on it. That's when your part of the pot is put aside for you. I really haven't a clue about these things but I attended a union meeting a few years ago because we had to vote on changes to our DB pension in order for the...

Hi Mizen, It's worldwide cover so you can use it to top up your existing VHI health insurance while you are in the US. The terms and conditions can be found using the following link: [broken link removed] Select the latest month and compare their cover to others like Multitrip.com...

Ajapale, Cheerios are half price in Dunnes at the moment if you want to stock up! They also have Rice Crispies and Cornflakes BOGOF but that one ends tomorrow.

My brother opted for the Sony Xperia and he is very happy with it so far. He was all for getting the iphone initially. He is with Meteor and it was €299 on the contract he was on. Just before his contract was due for an upgrade people started to tell him that he should get the Samsung Galaxy...

Thanks pj111. I went for VHI in the end as I know they were very good when my uncle became ill in Portugal last year. When my aunt rang them to find out what she should do they just took over. They told her what she was covered for, what they would do directly and what she needed to pay for...

I work for eircom and we are in examinership. It's business as usual as far as the staff, suppliers and customers are concerned. Eircom has money, it can pay it's day to day costs and we are continuing to plough money into investing in fibre and tv etc. As a company we are just like everyone...

Meteor's customer service used to be much better but it went downhill rapidly about 6 months ago. I think they changed the company that they contract to run their call centre so it may be because of that. Their coverage is patchy but so is most of the other companies. It just depends where...

I couldn't log in last night but I tried again when I got home from work and I was able to get in. Try it again as it should be back.
