Key Post: Broadband packages & availability - check here if shopping around

Hi all, wondering if anyone can set me straight! I rang Perlico about setting up their €39.99 deal, but was told I need to get my landline no first from Eircom. Rang those and thats been set up as we speak. Only thing is do I now have to stick with Eircom, they were offering me deals re bundles etc but I kindly said no, they said I'll get a bill for line rental now every month. So if I did (somehow) move to Perlico will I have to pay line rental then to Eircom also?

Thanks

No - Perlico will charge you line rental (part of the bundle) eircom will stop (hopefully) once Perlico take over.

That worked fine for me. Eircom sent a final bill and Perlico took over then.
 
Has anyone any up to date advice on the best phone/broadband package available? I am being bombarded by chorus ntl and perlico,but no one has advised me to move from eircom.

Did you click on the "start" button under "combined services" - then you are asked to enter details of phone usage and broadband needs and it comes back with a list of them all with lowest price first. ?
 
Hi all. I wanna ask You about broadband packages in Kildare Town? At the moment i'm a eircom user with 3 MB broadband and talktime package. I think to move in to BT. I would like to get a faster broadband with phone line for less money then i pay in Eircom. What's your opinion??/

Speaking from (a bad) experience with PERLICO - i would recommend staying with Eircom....PERLICO are complete idiots with ZERO customer support (do NOT believe ther customer "awards" as they are simply back slappin exercises between them and their cronies) i paid them 49.99 or there abouts for BB and IT NEVER WAS CONNECTED repeat - IT NEVER WAS CONNECTED - eventually had to go back to Eircom and the engineers there told me PERLICO had NEVER attempted to even try and connect me - and this was after 3 months!! PERLICO ARE IDIOTS.
 
Stay away from PERLICO - it would be a REGRETTABLE move , belive you me.
 
Will changing providers increase my speed? Eircom have the last mile....

The Package I have from Eircom is advertised as:
Up to 3Mb down
Up to 384k up

Getting:
1.7Mb Down
196k Up

Is this typical performance, don't want to change if another provider is going to provide the same.
