Phone lines are not obsolete if live somewhere that cannot depend on mobile for a strong broadband signal...No TV (lots of entertainment without a monthly fee)
Phone lines are obsolete
You're describing fixed line broadband-my reply meant a fixed phone line for phone calls.Phone lines are not obsolete if live somewhere that cannot depend on mobile for a strong broadband signal...
Then your reply ignored a large swathe of the population who still rely on phone lines for broadband.You're describing fixed line broadband-my reply meant a fixed phone line for phone calls.
I took it to mean the CPI plus an additional 3%, so we could be looking at a 13% increase if the CPI in January is 10%. The letter I got says the "CPI rate published in January plus an additional 3%".Eir's website says the €5 per month increase applies to contracts signed after May 12th. I signed before that but still got the email saying my contracted price would rise from August by €5 per month. ! Haven't chased it up yet.
As for the inflation related increase form next April I assume they mean the rate of inflation plus 3 percentage points which, of course, is different to the rate of inflation plus 3% !
My circumstances are similar to yours paying €74 a month and out of contract but my speed has halfed from 26 Gbps to 10 and now to 2 Gbps.OK so, I admit it. I subject them to harsh criticism here and elsewhere from time to time about the quality of their services and customer service, so it's time to balance that out a bit.
My standard rate contract for phone, mobile, broadband, and telly is €105.97/month, paying by direct debit.
For the last 12 months, I've been paying €70.97/month with discounts.
I got my latest bill today and it informed me I was out of contract, so being the good eir acolyte I rang to negotiate.
€60.97/month with no effort on my part. I was so surprised I had to ask if that included VAT, which of course it does. They may of course jack it up substantially due to lorry drivers, BREXIT, COVID, fuel-cots, and Uncle Tom Cobley and all, but it's not a bad starting point.
The cynic in me says "Let's just see how long that lasts". [EDIT] but in the meantime, that's a 42.5% reduction.
