A guy in the know recommended that I go with Eir for the first year to get the connection up and running
I wouldn't say that. I'd say his info is about 2 /3 years old. (possibly more)Your guy knows nothing. Stay away from eir.
Sky have a €39/month. 12 month contract, 2 year price guarantee.
€109 installation if you are a customer
€200 if not a customer
All installations done by independent contractors, so should be no different than eir
Your guy knows nothing. Stay away from eir.
FTTH was installed in our area just before Christmas. All the neighbours wanted to get it in, we tried every provider, no one could commit to a date because eir needed to show the fibre as live on their system, even though the fibre actually was live, one house had a successful install, before eir changed the status.
I signed up with eir on the basis that as they had the fibre they might be the first to be able to do the install. They said the system would be live in 3 weeks and I would be installed within a further 2 weeks. 6 weeks later the system still not shown as live by eir.
When they eventually showed the signal as live. All the other companies installed their customers, including me, as I signed up with another also. By end of March everyone was hooked up. Early April eir knocked on doors asking people if they would be interested in broadband.
yep (they call it "Ultra")-for FTTH? do you have a link?
yep (they call it "Ultra")-
Who did you go with and are you happy with them?
good pointA major consideration for me would be the inclusion of the Eir Sports & BT Sports TV packages - I'm getting a lot of use out of them mainly for rugby coverage which is very good, they're portable via a tablet etc. also.

That's why I moved to Eir.A major consideration for me would be the inclusion of the Eir Sports & BT Sports TV packages - I'm getting a lot of use out of them mainly for rugby coverage which is very good, they're portable via a tablet etc. also.
Also I was with Sky for Broadband for years and when there's no problem well then there's no problem. When there is an issue though the 3rd party provider basically has to contact Eir who are supposed to help but issue persisted for months and it was painful.
Eventually a friend advised me to sign up with Eir and the issue disappeared overnight.
So there's that.
This package looks pretty impressive
I have the extreme and brutal misfortune of dealing with Eir for both my own landline and those of my Employers.
Their apathy, disregard, ignorance, arrogance, incompetence, capacity to astound, obstinance, laziness and ultimately a massively driven quest to lower standards yet further on every given day they leave for work means that to engage with them is to willingly embrace dystopia and court ones own emotional unravelling.
The fact remains that whoever you sign up with someone has to log faults with them, and then attempt to harry them onwards towards a successful conclusion through pleading and lots of salty tears.
For now I just enjoy the free sports channels and pray that a technical fault will not arise any time soon.
- For contexts sake, prior to my last issue I had 11 years of uninterrupted service - I can live with that risk.
