Our broadband tool checks what suppliers are available at your address to find the best broadband bundles for your needs. Our comparison service incorporates the latest rollouts made under the National Broadband Plan.
The three most important things to consider when choosing a new broadband provider are:
The more people in your home, the higher your speed requirements, and if you all watch YouTube or Netflix, then you'll definitely need an unlimited data allowance.
You should also take into account the customer service reputation of your provider and the contract length.
When looking at price, try not to get blindsided by any introductory deals for the first few months and instead look at the total first-year cost. This is the full amount you can expect to pay over the first 12 months of your contract and will include any other charges such as set-up costs or installation fees.
Using our comparison tool, you can easily see the monthly and first-year costs of each plan. If an introductory offer or discount is available for the first few months of the contract, then this will be clearly marked along with the follow-on price.

How fast your broadband needs to be will depend on two things:
As a rough guide, a household using one to two devices to browse the web, use email, social media and stream a moderate amount of video will need speeds that can reach around 25Mbps.
When you bring your device number up to three or four and you’re looking to do some online gaming or stream video in 4K resolution, you’ll need a connection that can consistently reach speeds of 50Mbps to 100Mbps.
If you have more than five devices in constant use in your household and you want to do all of the above, share large files on a regular basis and conduct live video streaming you’ll need a connection speed somewhere between 150Mbps and 200Mbps.
When looking at broadband deals remember that the advertised speeds only refer to the maximum speed possible with the plan, they are by no means a guarantee. In fact, in many cases, the speed you actually get will be much slower than what you might expect.
You can discover more about high-speed broadband in this guide.
The fastest broadband deal available to you will depend on:
Pure fibre broadband that can reach speeds of up to 1,000Mbps is now available in select towns and regions nationwide through providers like Vodafone, Digiweb and Sky. Meanwhile, Virgin Media offers speeds of up to 500Mbps to almost one million premises nationwide.
If you live in a rural area that doesn’t yet have access to fibre broadband then the maximum speed available to you will range from about 2 Mbps to 24Mbps at most. The further you are from your telephone exchange the slower your connection will be.
By using our broadband comparison service you’ll be shown a list of all deals, and their average speeds, that are available at your particular address.
The cost of broadband largely depends on the speed as well as whether your broadband connection is part fibre or pure fibre.
Pure fibre connections can reach speeds of up to 1,000Mbps and will usually be more expensive than part-fibre connections that can only reach speeds of 100Mpbs at most.
In general, you can expect to pay from €30 to €60 per month on average for broadband in Ireland. However some providers offer discounts for new customers which can reduce your cost for the first few months of service.
Don’t forget that there are other costs associated with broadband, such as connection charges and cancellation fees. Take a look at our guide on the most common broadband charges to learn more.
