Things to consider
When switching broadband provider in Ireland, it’s not always about the cheapest package. Here are some things to consider.
- Speed
The speed you require depends on your situation, such as the amount of devices you have and the demands of your everyday internet usage from simple searches to streaming.
To check if you need to upgrade to a faster plan for more Mbps, use our broadband speed test.

Each package offers varying features and channels, so consider your needs before selecting a plan.

Broadband FAQs
- What is fibre broadband?
Fibre broadband is a type of ultra-fast internet connection that uses fibre optic cables to transmit data. These cables are made of thin strands of glass or plastic that transmit data as light signals, enabling faster data transfer compared to traditional copper cables. Its speed and reliability makes it ideal for streaming, gaming and video conferencing.
- Is broadband and Wi-Fi the same thing?
Broadband and Wi-Fi are different things and serve different purposes. Broadband is the type of connection that brings the internet into your home. It's the underlying infrastructure that delivers the speed. Wi-Fi is the wireless technology that distributes that internet connection to your devices within your home.
- Who installs fibre in Ireland?
Fibre broadband infrastructure in Ireland is primarily rolled out by major telecommunications companies like Eir and Virgin Media which have their own networks. Additionally, SIRO is a significant player in rolling out 100% fibre-to-the-home broadband across regional Ireland. When you sign up for a fibre broadband deal, your chosen provider will arrange for the installation.
- How much is the average broadband bill in Ireland?
The average broadband bill in Ireland varies depending on the speed, provider and whether it's part of a bundle. You can expect to pay anywhere from €30 to €70 or more per month. Introductory offers can make the initial cost lower but prices often increase after the first year. The best way to know what you'll pay is to compare current deals on bonkers.ie.
- What is a good broadband speed in Ireland?
A "good" broadband speed depends on your household's specific needs. For general browsing and light streaming, 100 Mbps to 250 Mbps is often sufficient. For households with multiple users, 4K streaming, online gaming and remote work, speeds of 500 Mbps or more from a full fibre connection would be considered excellent and provide a seamless experience.

You can cancel your broadband plan within 14 days from the day you recieve your contract.
This is known as the cooling off period and gives you the right to change your mind without incurring any cancellation charges.
