How to choose a broadband & phone plan
When you’re comparing deals there are a few things to think about.
-
Price: For most people, the price will be the most important factor. You need to look at the monthly cost after the discount ends and any other costs e.g. installation.
-
Broadband speed: The speed you can get will depend on the broadband provider and the type of broadband available in your area.
-
Contract length: Most broadband and phone contracts are 12-18 months long, so be sure to check this before you sign up, and make sure you know when your discount period ends, and how much you’ll pay after that.
-
Calls package: What’s included in calls packages with broadband and phone plans can vary widely between providers. Make sure you check what’s included and opt for the phone plan that suits you.
-
Installation costs. Look at the installation costs, as well as the monthly costs. Some providers offer free installation, while with others there’ll be an upfront charge.
Can you get broadband without a phone?
Yes, however most broadband providers in Ireland require a phone line to install your broadband connection.
This can make it difficult to find a broadband-only deal, although you could opt for a deal with a free call plan and choose not to use it. Here are some more wireless broadband options.
Virgin Media offers a broadband-only plan, as they supply the broadband via their cable network.

Want to add TV onto your broadband & phone plan?
If you want a TV plan, it might be worth looking at a broadband, TV and home phone bundle. Bundling products from one provider will generally save you money and there tends to be big discounts on these plans, too.
There are four providers that offer ‘triple-play’ packages in the Irish market - eir, Sky, Virgin Media and Vodafone.
