Changing telly in Limerick normally means signing first and finding out second. We do it the other way round. Twenty-four hours on your own telly, no card, no account, a real person on WhatsApp if the setup gives trouble, and Limerick in the championship, Treaty United in the League of Ireland First Division, plus every Premier League and Champions League night waiting to be tested.
Local viewing guide
Limerick is unusual in having two genuinely elite draws in the one city. The hurlers have made the Gaelic Grounds one of the hardest places to visit in the Munster championship, and Thomond Park is the home of Munster rugby, where the European nights still empty the pubs into the ground. Treaty United at the Markets Field give the city a League of Ireland side as well. For anyone weighing up a switch, Limerick is a useful test case precisely because those three things sit in different places on the dial: provincial hurling, Champions Cup rugby and First Division soccer are rarely bundled together. The city was also an early SIRO fibre area, so the bandwidth for 4K is usually there. What people here want to establish is coverage, not speed.
Limerick benefits from having been an early SIRO city, so Castletroy, Dooradoyle, Raheen and most of the built-up area have gigabit fibre available and bandwidth is rarely the constraint. The university at Castletroy brings a large student population in short lets where a dish is out of the question and a twelve-month contract makes little sense. Further out towards Newcastle West and Abbeyfeale, coverage thins in the usual rural pattern. For a city household the interesting test is not speed but concurrency: with several people streaming at once on a Friday evening, does the match still hold together. For anyone further out in the county, test at the address itself rather than relying on what works in town.
In Munster, the fixtures that decide whether a service is worth keeping are Limerick in the All-Ireland championship and Treaty United in the League of Ireland First Division. Check those first. Load the guide, find the game, and see whether the picture holds at throw-in rather than taking anyone's word for it. Nothing at home matches the Gaelic Grounds when the hurlers are at home, but the picture should still do the night justice.
Connection check
Worth knowing before you start: Limerick was an early SIRO city, so gigabit fibre is common in the built-up areas. Reckon on 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. SIRO fibre is strong in Limerick city, with Virgin Media in parts. If the house in Limerick is streaming on three devices at once, that is the moment to check your speed.
Setup
The usual worry in Limerick is the setup rather than the price. There is no dish, no engineer visit and no new box to buy. It runs on the smart telly, Firestick or Android box already in the room, and a real person walks you through it on WhatsApp while you do it.
Give us a name and a WhatsApp number. That is the entire sign-up.
The login lands back in the same chat, generally within minutes.
A person, not a bot, helps you get it running on your existing telly or box.
Twenty-four hours to make your mind up. Nothing is stored, so nothing charges.
You do not need one. We ask for a name and a WhatsApp number and nothing more. No card means no accidental renewal, which is usually the part people in Limerick want reassurance about.
Neither. Nothing is installed and nothing is drilled. It works through the broadband already coming into your Limerick home, on the telly or streaming stick sitting in the room right now.
The library includes GAA championship coverage and the League of Ireland First Division, so if a Limerick or Treaty United game falls inside your 24 hours you can check it properly. Fixtures and rights move around, which is exactly why we would rather you test it on a real match night than take our word for it.
About 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Limerick was an early SIRO city, so gigabit fibre is common in the built-up areas. Test during the evening peak rather than the middle of the day, because that is when the line is under load.
Access lapses on its own. You are not billed and there is nothing to cancel. If you want to keep it, The Taster is €100 once for 10 months, The Owner is €300 once for lifetime access on one device, and both come with a 90-day money-back promise.
The same free trial applies wherever you are. If one of these is closer, start there.
