This translates to ten times faster broadband speeds and unparalleled reliability. As broadband usage continues to evolve, FTTH is built to handle these growing demands, future-proofing your connectivity. . Explore the latest FTTH broadband deals from eir with Ireland’s most reliable broadband speeds as independently verified by Ookla®.
All eir broadband plans now come with landline included, at no extra cost. Landline services use VoIP (Voice over IP) technology, which provide high definition voice quality. Depending on your usage, additional add-ons are available, which is ideal for customers who make most of their calls during the day.
Your broadband speed, measured in megabits per second (Mb), has two key components: download speed and upload speed. A faster download speed means you can enjoy movies and games without interruptions, whereas stronger upload speed allows you to share files and videos quickly. Finding the right broadband deal in Ireland depends on your internet habits. For uninterrupted working from home, and multiple users streaming at once our 500Mb plan will suffice. Households with a desire for seamless gaming in Ultra HD and 4K should consider our 1Gb plan. Remember, all eir fibre broadband plans offer Ireland’s most reliable broadband speeds as independently verified by Ookla®.
Yes, you will be able to game online with a 500MB broadband connection, but 1Gb will allow your household to stream 4K content, work from home and take part in online gaming without buffering. Download large files quickly, enjoy high-quality video calls without interruptions and enjoy seamless operation of multiple smart home devices. Check out our gaming page for more details.
1Gb is equivalent to 1000Mb, which means it is an ultra-fast connection that offers more bandwidth than 500Mb. A 500Mb broadband connection is ok for online gaming and remote working, but 1Gb broadband will offer greater bandwidth for gaming, streaming 4K video and transferring large data files as it allows for faster downloads. Choose the right broadband deal depending on your requirement, and assess how much speed is important for your household.
