This news article contrasts two customers' experiences with Eir, highlighting the significant differences in their interactions with the company.

Peter from Dublin shares his frustrating experience with Eir . He closed his broadband and mobile accounts in June 2024, returning the modem to Eir as instructed.

Eir responded to Peter's complaint, acknowledging a technical issue that prevented the proper termination of his account. They apologized, confirmed that the issue was resolved, and assured Peter that his account was now closed.Mary O'Sullivan, a loyal reader of Pricewatch, shared a contrasting experience with Eir.
