Reasons for Change
The primary driver behind this price adjustment is a wholesale price increase imposed by our main infrastructure provider, OpenEir. This change also addresses rising costs of operating and maintaining our services in an evolving telecommunications landscape. As the industry shifts towards fibre-based technologies, maintaining existing copper network infrastructure while investing in future-proof solutions presents significant challenges. Copper-based technologies, although still vital for many customers, are becoming increasingly complex and costly to maintain. This price adjustment is necessary to ensure continued service quality and reliability.
Ongoing Commitment
This marks our first price adjustment since 2022, reflecting our efforts to absorb escalating operational and network maintenance costs for as long as economically feasible. At IFA Telecom, we remain dedicated to offering competitively priced, high-quality services to all our valued customers, especially in rural communities where reliable connectivity is crucial. Alongside our participation in Ireland’s national fibre rollout, we are committed to supporting our customers, including those who rely on copper-based services, to continue providing the highest quality service possible.
