Yes Perlico are cheaper. We switched years ago for just that reason. I'm thinking of switching back, though, because our experience of their fault resolution is abysmal. They say faults will be handled in 3-5 working days but recently we had two faults and each took much longer than this. When you enquire, it turns out that 3-5 days is the time they undertake to notify Eircom in!! After that, it's just how long is a piece of string (or in this case a piece of telephone cable). We found no point in ringing to get updates, request escalation etc as they just said it's with Eircom. There doesn't seem to be a charter or standard in operation. Grrrr! With Eircom the process of getting the engineers onto it was much quicker and we could get updates. So, if this is important to you then think carefully before switching.
