NTL cable broadband - yoyo-ing in Tallaght

ro_G

anyone else having problems? Been down more than it has been up since yesterday, prior to yesterday it's been up non-stop for months. I *would* call tech support but life is just too bloody short

They're planning on having everyone on the upgraded packages by the end of August (like, next week), so it's probably something to do with that.

ro_G

upgraded packages? news to me. i'm on the 600 for 20 notes a month package. feckers haven't told me anything was changing

seamus

All the packages are being upgraded for nothing.

150Kbps -> 300Kbps
600Kbps -> 750Kbps
1Mbps -> 1.5Mbps

nice one. although to be honest i was happy with the 600k.

Any idea how far out the NTl broadband extends in Tallaght? I live in De Selby just off the blessington road.

Thanks in advance

ro_G

dunno - i'm in Fettercairn. I also know lads in Springfield and Old Bawn who have it.

If its out that far I'd imagine Jobstown has it as well.

Lenny

I'm in kingswood and have it
its avaible in kilnamagh too, think it goes down to ballymount
the blessington road should have it afaik

i live on leeson street and cannot get it. My line has to be upgraded. Centre of dublin and I cannot get BB. its a joke. I wonder if they would upgrade it if I pronised to take their top poackage as soon as it was done.

Moo

Just a thought - have you tried ringing them and reporting a fault? Maybe somebody's damaged a cable near you or something?
