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 100MB, 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, NOW TV, or Prime Video.

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

Ireland’s fastest broadband speeds reach up to 5Gbps with eir and Virgin Media. For most large households, however, full fibre speeds of 500Mbps or 1Gbps are more than sufficient for streaming, gaming, and multiple users online at the same time.

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, Disney+ or NOW TV, 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; 100MB, 500MB, 1GB, 2GB or 5GB?
• 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 1Gbps fibre broadband and phone
• eir Up to 5Gbps Fibre broadband, TV and phone
• Pure Telecom Up to 1Gbps fibre broadband, TV and phone
• Sky 1Gbps Fibre broadband and TV
• Virgin Media Up to 5Gbps Fibre broadband and TV
• Vodafone Up to 2Gbps Fibre broadband and TV

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?

As of 2025, Ireland has four main providers offering fibre broadband and TV packages.

• eir
• Sky
• Virgin Media
• Vodafone

The best broadband deal is not necessarily the cheapest. Consider the services and features you need, plus any potential price rises once your discount period ends before you make the switch.

Some providers offer introductory discounts for 12 or 24 months, and some provide welcome rewards like bill credits or freebies. Consider:

• Introductory Discounts: While initial discounts can be appealing, always check the ‘thereafter price’ after the discount period ends to understand the long-term cost.
• Annual Price Increases: Some providers apply a price rise every year based on inflation, but this should be clearly outlined in their T&Cs.
• Contract Length: Longer contracts may offer better initial rates but can lead to higher costs if prices increase during the term.
• Included Services: Ensure the package includes the services you need, such as TV channels, streaming services, and phone calls.

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 2025, 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, mobile and broadband packages may become more popular. Eventually, legacy copper landlines in Ireland will be entirely replaced by full fibre as part of the Copper Switch Off (CSO).

The EU target year is 2030, though industry experts suggest the actual transition may extend beyond that.

What is the fastest fibre broadband package?

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

Vodafone offer plans with 2Gps speeds, while Digiweb, Pure Telecom, and Sky offer 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.

• 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.
