You tell them at the start of your last month that you want to end your contract at the end of the 12 months if that's what you choose to do?I asking what are my, me as a customer of a Fibre provider, obligations to a service provider when a contract is coming to an end
You'd need to look at the documentation for the different routers that the different providers supply. E.g. some may have different WiFi standards - WiFi 5, 6, 7, mesh, etc.What different features are these??
That's exactly what I'm asking, do I have to give them notice or can I just change provider at the end of my contract??You tell them at the start of your last month that you want to end your contract at the end of the 12 months if that's what you choose to do?
just change, i do it every year.That's exactly what I'm asking, do I have to give them notice or can I just change provider at the end of my contract??
I was able to keep using my Eir Modem/Router when I switched to Pure Fibre to the Cabinet recently. But that wouldn't work if I switched to Sky or to non Open eir FTTC providers. Are you fibre to the home? Maybe that is possible with FTTH service?i just use my own router and throw the provider one in the attic..
you can but if you switch once out of contract there arent any unexpected charges.I would always explicitly cancel with a month's notice to avoid any unexpected/unwanted charges.
I have FTTH once you can tag vlan 10 with your router you can use it.I was able to keep using my Eir Modem/Router when I switched to Pure Fibre to the Cabinet recently.

You may be charged for the full 13th month of you switch the day after your 12 month minimum period ends?you can but if you switch once out of contract there arent any unexpected charges.
I don't think that my TP-Link could do that (or maybe not without hacking - e.g. installing third party firmware). I didn't look into it in that much detail as the Eir router is fine.I have FTTH once you can tag vlan 10 with your router you can use it
how, you wont have received the service? at the very worse you get charged for the month and then get a credit note the following month for the 30 days you didnt use.You may be charged for the full 13th month of you switch the day after your 12 month minimum period ends?
maybe not all my equipment is ubiquiti so a lot better than whatever eir, pure or whoever send out!I don't think that my TP-Link could do that (or maybe not without hacking - e.g. installing third party firmware). I didn't look into it in that much detail as the Eir router is fine.
Because you'll have used it on day 366 at least and maybe a few more days before the new service provider enables their service? And if you're switching between an OpenEir provider and Virgin then you're switching between different infrastructures in most or all cases so you could have two service providers active at once. That was my situation last year with VM cable broadband active while Sky and then Eir (after Sky proved useless) FTTH were installed.how, you wont have received the service?
What use is a credit note if you're no longer with them?then get a credit note the following month for the 30 days you didnt use.
Totaly agree with you and it's what we've done in the past and never had a problemI would always explicitly cancel with a month's notice to avoid any unexpected/unwanted charges.
Either they bill you the correct amount for the one day you've used in the month, or they bill you for a full month with a credit note to follow. If thats the case dont pay the bill until the credit note is issued and pay the remaining balance,What use is a credit note if you're no longer with them?
that still only entitles them to charge you for the days youve used not a full month.Because you'll have used it on day 366 at least and maybe a few more days before the new service provider enables their service?

You will have to decide how important no downtime is to you.Would there be much hassle in switching ( i dont want any down-time)?
I moved from Pure cable to Sky Fibre and the whole change over took just over two weeksWould there be much hassle in switching ( i dont want any down-time)?
