• ADSL broadband: Uses an existing phone line, with speeds of up to 24Mbps, where still available.

How to choose the best broadband in Waterford

A cheap introductory offer can be tempting, but it’s worth checking the full cost and what you’re getting before signing up.

Here’s what to look out for:

• Broadband speed: Do you need a fast connection for gaming, streaming or working from home? Our guide to broadband speeds in Ireland can help.
• Connection type: Check what broadband is available in your area before comparing deals.
• Broadband bundles: Would broadband only suit you, or could you save by bundling broadband, TV and calls?
• Monthly cost: Look beyond the initial discount. Check the thereafter price and any annual price increases.
• Contract length: Most plans run for 12 or 24 months, and leaving early could mean paying a termination fee.

Broadband packages in Waterford

Before choosing a broadband-only or a bundle, consider the services you’ll actually use:

• TV & broadband bundles: Worth considering if you want broadband alongside TV channels, movies or sports packages. Some plans also include extras like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema or multi-room viewing.
• Broadband-only: A simpler option if you don’t need a TV or call package. Compare the total contract cost to find the best value.

Once you’ve found a deal that suits you, check the Plan Info and terms before switching.
