Ireland’s best broadband packages

What is a broadband package?

A broadband package bundles your broadband with other services, such as your TV and phone.

Most Irish broadband providers offer broadband bundles that allow you to pay one monthly fee for the whole package.

Whether you are searching for a cheaper broadband and TV package or super fast, full fibre broadband with glitch-free streaming, there are part fibre or full fibre broadband bundles to suit every need and budget.

What does a broadband package include?

Any broadband deal that includes an extra service with your broadband is called a package or bundle.

You can usually choose between:

• Broadband and TV: a combined part fibre or full fibre broadband and digital TV plan
• Broadband and phone: a combined part fibre or full fibre broadband and phone service
• Broadband, TV and home phone: all three services grouped together

What fibre broadband packages can you get?

You can choose a broadband bundle that includes a super fast, full fibre connection or opt for a part fibre bundle with slower speeds of up to 100Mbps, which may be slightly cheaper.

If you’re looking for the fastest broadband in Ireland, fibre is best. You’ll find it especially useful if you like watching movies or streaming shows on Netflix or Prime Video.

Fibre broadband providers eir, Sky and Virgin Media all offer full fibre broadband with their TV packages.

The fastest widely advertised home broadband speeds in Ireland can reach up to 5Gbps, but availability depends on your address, network and provider.

For most households, 500Mbps or 1Gbps full fibre is more than enough for streaming, gaming, video calls and multiple users online at once.

Why choose a broadband package?

Bundling your broadband with TV or phone can save you time and money, and the convenience of managing all services in one place.

Many providers now offer bonus streaming services, like Netflix or Disney+ as part of their packages.

What to consider when comparing broadband packages

Before you switch, consider the type of broadband services you need and how much you can spend.

Here are some things to consider before you choose:

• Is fibre broadband available in your area?
• What part fibre or full fibre broadband speed do you need; 100Mbps, 500Mbps, 1Gbps, 2Gbps or 5Gbps?
• What extra services and features do you want?
• How long do you want the contract to last?
• How much can you afford monthly?

Which internet providers offer fibre broadband bundles?

At least six broadband providers offer broadband packages in Ireland, with a choice of part fibre or full fibre speeds.

We compare:

• Digiweb Up to 2Gbps fibre broadband and phone
• eir Up to 5Gbps fibre broadband, TV and phone
• Pure Telecom Up to 1Gbps fibre broadband, TV and phone
• Sky Up to 5Gbps fibre broadband and TV
• Virgin Media Up to 5Gbps fibre broadband and TV
• Vodafone Up to 2Gbps fibre broadband and TV

Broadband speeds, TV options and introductory discounts can change regularly, so always check live deals for your Eircode before choosing a package.

What broadband and streaming packages can you get?

Many Irish broadband providers now offer bundles that combine high-speed internet with popular streaming services. For example, Sky Stream and Virgin TV 360 include Netflix and Prime Video apps, while Vodafone TV PLAY gives access to live channels and on-demand streaming.

These packages are ideal for households that want a complete entertainment solution without needing a landline.

What is the cheapest broadband and TV package?

The cheapest broadband and TV package depends on your address, speed, TV bundle and current discounts.

In Ireland, the main providers offering fibre broadband and TV packages include:

• eir
• Sky
• Virgin Media
• Vodafone

The cheapest broadband deal is not always the best value. Before choosing a package, compare the monthly price, contract length, thereafter price, annual price increases and the TV or streaming services included.

Some providers offer introductory discounts for 12 or 24 months, while others may include welcome rewards such as bill credit or free subscriptions. Always check:

• Introductory discounts: Check how long the discount lasts and what the price will be when it ends.
• Thereafter price: Look at the long-term monthly cost, not just the first-year price.
• Annual price increases: Some providers apply yearly price rises, which should be explained in their terms and conditions.
• Contract length: Longer contracts may offer lower starting prices but can make it harder to switch if a better deal becomes available.
• Included services: Make sure the package includes the TV channels, streaming apps, phone service or extras you actually need.

Should you choose the cheapest broadband package?

The cheapest broadband package may look appealing at first, but it’s important to consider contract length, annual price increases, and what services are included.

In 2026, many larger families will find that full fibre speeds of 500Mbps or 1Gbps are suitable for streaming, gaming, and video calls on multiple devices, even if it costs a little more than the entry-level deals.

Choosing the best package depends on your household needs, not just the headline price.

Can you bundle mobile and broadband plans?

The deals listed above compare broadband, TV and home phone plans only, however, some plans - like the Vodafone’s RED Family discount - reward customers who bundle their mobile and broadband plans together.

As landline use declines and full fibre coverage expands, mobile and broadband bundles may become more common. Over time, older copper-based phone and broadband services are expected to be phased out through Ireland’s Copper Switch Off, also known as Fibre Switch Over.

However, the timing will depend on fibre availability, customer migration and regulatory approval.

What is the fastest fibre broadband package?

eir, Sky and Virgin Media offer 5Gbps full fibre broadband bundles, the fastest speed available in Ireland.

Vodafone and Dgiweb offer plans with speeds up to 2Gbps, while Pure Telecom offers up to 1Gps - which is still ultrafast and more than enough speed for most households.

Broadband speeds in your area depend on the infrastructure and type of broadband connections available in your location and also which providers are operating.

How to pick the best fibre broadband bundle

Many of Ireland’s internet providers offer competitively priced broadband packages, but which is the best deal?

• Start your search by entering your Eircode and compare part fibre and full fibre broadband deals. You can filter results to include TV packages or opt for broadband only.
• The best fibre broadband package for you will ultimately depend on what’s available in your area and how much you can afford.
• Opt for the right broadband connection and broadband speed to suit your household needs.
• Many providers offer introductory discounts and perks for signing up but don’t forget to look at contract length and the costs once your introductory offer ends - also, factor in any potential annual price rise.
• Before you sign up for a TV package, pick the network most likely to stream your favourite shows or offer the sports channels you’ll most likely watch.
