Is that good or bad?

average for Limerick city
Anyone here have Sky broadband, if so is it any use?
I believe this is answered elsewhere Francis but it’s the exact same as eircom. We have it and it’s consistently good. Our house is about 200 yards from the exchange though.

Eir, Sky and Vodafone all use the same infrastructure.
You’re best served identifying your nearest exchange.
How do I go about doing that?
Just signed up for Vodafone broadband. Advertised as:
See our great Vodafone Broadband offers. Unlimited fibre broadband with up to 1000Mbps.
After signing up you get this email:
Benefits you’ll enjoy:
You’ve signed up to Gigabit Broadband Experience 1000. This means you will get our fastest possible speeds of 1000mbps. At the end of your contract, we will contact you to see if you want to continue enjoying these speeds. If we can’t contact you, your service will automatically switch to Gigabit Broadband 150mbps at the end of your contract.
No mention of that before I signed up. You’d want to be in the full of your health with these guys. Yea, and before somebody says it, they’re worse than Ryanair.
Whats the issue there? When your contract ends, you either renew or dont? They try contact you and if they dont get you, put you onto a cheaper plan. Or am I reading that wrong?
If you were availing of the full 1000Mbps and you got throttled down to 150mbps I doubt you’d notice much of a difference unless you were doing a serious amount of downloading/torrenting.
no, but paying the difference I suppose.
My point being that it would be nice to be told up front that your speed is going to be cut after a year.
Agreed.
but they have said they will contact you to keep those speeds, its only if they cant get you they will change it?

Yea, but they don’t say that up front, and don’t say how much extra full speed will cost you.
I’d say you wont find any broadband company that have a join up offer where after 12 or 18 months you get fully charged or reduced quality. Its why its a good saving tip to change every contract with electricity and broadband etc, but its a pain in the hole to do so and is why those companies have cheap join up rates for 12 months or whatever in the hope that luddites dont bother changing because of the hassle after the contract
its listed in the terms & conditions which I just found without signing up. also the landing page for the promotion also says “see terms and conditions .” which is hyperlinked

you just didn’t do your homework
I did read through a lot of that. Must have missed that bit. What number is it?
