Ask Niamh: How can I figure out which streaming services to get?

Plus: a view to our Consumer Champ of the Week

Sitting down on a Saturday night to watch a movie with the kids was simple as watching the Big, Big Movie on RTÉ. Now there’s Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video, to name a few. 

The cost of streaming services can add up quickly — and Netflix recently announced it was increasing prices with others likely to follow. Despite the cost of Netflix, it can be great value for what is offered. Although its standard package is increasing by €2 to €14.99, you still will get good bang for your buck. 

The tricky part is signing up to too many and not using them. Bonkers.ie has a good guide to what’s what when it comes to streaming services, which will help you decide.

Champ of the Week: Lynda would like to nominate Senator Windows in Cork

Lynda has been hugely impressed with Senator Windows in Cork ever since her first call to the office. She said it is hard to even mention one person as everyone at the company she has come into contact with has been really great and a pleasure to deal with. 

Lynda said that only recently she had a small issue she needed fixing and they dealt with it in a lovely and very friendly way. She said that they sorted her issue immediately and she was really grateful for that. Their overall customer care and the way they helped her without making a fuss makes them very worthy winners of the Champ of the Week award. She is really glad that she had such a lovely experience with them.
