"We will migrate our existing broadband customers to the new bundles over the course of the summer." he said.

"All impacted customers will receive a letter notifying them of the changes and customers have 30 days from receipt of the letter to decline the changes,"

"After these changes, our bundles remain very competitively priced compared to other offers in the market,"

Concerned customers are invited to contact Eir to find the most appropriate bundle based on their everyday usage patterns.
