How to compare Ireland’s best broadband deals

Check your broadband speed

In Ireland, the average speed is around 100Mbps but it’s possible to get maximum gigabit speeds of up to 5Gbps in some areas.

  1. Test your broadband speed using our broadband speed test.
  2. Download speed measures things like the streaming rate of music and videos, and upload speed measures how fast you can upload data, like sending emails.
  3. Run the test a few times, at different points in the day and exit all programs, cancel downloads and turn off devices and appliances to get a clear test of your speed.

Remember, if you regularly stream movies you’ll need a minimum download speed of 50Mbps.

Find the best broadband in your area

To find the best broadband deal, you can check the broadband availability in your area with our broadband eircode checker.

Whether you’re looking for full fibre broadband in Dublin or 5G Mobile broadband in Cork, our eircode broadband checker will find it.

Fibre optic broadband is available in most towns and cities across Ireland, but if you are still unconnected and want to know when full fibre broadband might be coming to your area, you can use the fibre broadband map on gov.ie, Open Eir or SIRO.

Choose the right broadband package

Consider what kind of plan you need, as well as what’s available in your area.

Think about how you and your household use the internet and whether you need a TV package. Bundling your broadband and TV can be cheaper, but only sign up for a TV package if you really need it.

If you decide to bundle broadband and TV, be realistic about how many channels you actually watch, and pick providers that stream your favourite shows. Many providers air the same standard channels but offer premium add-ons like Netflix or Sky Cinema and Sky Sports for an additional monthly cost.

Switch broadband providers

Before switching providers, you should check there are no cancellation fees with your current contract.

To switch and save:

  1. Compare and choose the best broadband deal on Switcher.ie
  2. Read the Plan Info to check all the details
  3. Complete the online form
  4. Receive a call from your new provider; give some more details
  5. Give your current provider cancellation notice
  6. Agree a date for switching with your new provider
  7. Cancel any direct debits with your old provider

Who offers the cheapest broadband deals in Ireland?

Broadband providers are always competing to offer the cheapest deals. Right now, most introductory fibre broadband offers start from €35 a month, while bundles with TV, Sky Sports and Cinema are around €90.

Our expert says

Broadband in Ireland is constantly improving, with more full fibre choices and price competition than ever before.

Providers love to attract new customers with great deals. Don’t just go for the cheapest price, though. Look at the whole picture: contract length, total cost, and factors like annual price rises or whether the provider offers a ‘thereafter price’ deal.

Should you get full fibre broadband?

If you’re unsure what broadband speed you should get, check your current speed using our broadband speed test, and go from there.

If you want a more stable, secure connection, full fibre broadband (speeds of 500MB, 1GB, 2GB or 5GB) usually offers lag-free, consistently secure internet.

Do you have to notify your current provider when switching?

Yes, you usually need to give your existing provider at least 30 days’ notice that you’re leaving. You can choose when you wish to cancel the service though, and that might be better after your new broadband service is up and running, to guarantee continuity of service.
