So UPC are upping their charges but it seems they offer a good BB package, particularly with fibre connections. Looking around I've got Vodafone & Eircom offering "up to 100 MB" for €35 & €33 (increasing to €53 after six months), with contract periods of 18 months. Anyone got an opinion on Vodafone or Eircom BB vis a vis service? The 'up to 100 MB' has me wary, it mightn't be realised in practice, I also don't like long contracts. I currently have 60 MB BB and off-peak calls ( which I don't use) with UPC for €37.00. There isn't a lot in it cost-wise but I think these companies trade on an element of inertia in the market - a notion I like to disprove from time to time. ;0)

Do you get TV also for that €37 pm currently?I was currently on 60mb broadband and free offpeak calls only for 37 euro a month,so Im happy with this new better deal now
Nope,didnt ask for TV as I allready have hundreds of UK,European and Worldwide TV channels via a large satelite system in the back garden and IPTV boxes too.Do you get TV also for that €37 pm currently?

You can split the signal and tune in 17 analogue channels.Do you get TV also for that €37 pm currently?
I have on old Sky dish to which I have connected a Walker satellite receiver (Powercity) to tune in free-to-air channels; many newer TVs have a built-in satellite tuner so no need for a box. I've no interest in most of the channels bar the UK channels, Film4 and a couple of kids channels.What Sat Box do you use? Best place to get it, etc.
Any chance of more info on "hundreds of tv channels & "large satellite system"?
I want to dump UPC as well but do not want to spend €€ and end up with a poor replacement so experienced comment would be good.
Foe example, What Sat Box do you use? Best place to get it, etc.
Thx Flowerman for the detailed reply. Wondering, is your wiring hidden?
Thanks for all the replies. Given what Leo said re Vodafone, I'll give UPC a call, say I'm leaving for Vodafone for lower price, see if they'll match it or even up the BB speed, it is all to play for! Flowerman you back garden must look like NASA on Google earth what with all the dishes !
Crikey. Will you come up to my house and put one in place?Forgot to say that a cheap 12 euro Philex 48 Element aerial from Aldi placed up in the attic space provides the Saorview channels to each TV aswell.This signal is fed in via the diseqc switches so the 400 odd channels from the satalite dish and the saorview channels come in on the 1 co-ax and are then split out at the TV points.The 2nd co-ax at each TV point is for record function.The Cat6 cables are there to supply a hard wired broadband connection for the IPTV box and theres also a spare Cat6,just incase and for future proofing.

Just an update on this. Rang UPC, told em I was leaving for €35 100 MB Vodafone package, they offered me €20 discount (nett €12) for 4 months and then €32 for phone and 60 MB BB, 1 yr contract. Happy enough with that.
