With more and more towns and cities getting added to the SIRO FTTH network, 1Gbps Internet connections are becoming available from many providers throughout Ireland. I've put togheter a price comparison list to outline the available products from the top 3 nationwide providers.
At this time, all SIRO providers offer 1Gbps speeds on 12 month contracts with various prices for the first few months of the contract but for clarity I listed the total cost per year. For comparison, I included Virgin Media which have recently introduced a 0.5Gbps service over their classic cable network, and eir which also offer a FTTH product.
