we had a lady from UPC call to our house last tues, we live just off boghall rd, she asked us to sign a piece of paper to allow a workman in around our garden to check the state of the cabling & exactly where it goes. When asked she said it would be at least 2/3 wks b4 the workmen would b around to check it all, we agreed on the understanding that we'd get a call on the mobiles 30mins b4 they arrived on site (giving us enough time to get back if we were out). Not exactly sure why they're checking the cables, something about if they can put another cable along-side the existing one?
guess what! the guy rang me within 2 days! unfortunately we were in Howth at a confirmation & couldn't make it back so they'll obviously have to make it anohter day, but it's looking hopefull anyhow...

Strange I done the same.
Person asked me were there any UPC/ntl/cablelink boxes in the house which I said no to and he told me the date of 31/10/2011.
Either way looks like its definitely this year which is a huge plus considering its UPC/ntl

I live in the Woodbrook Glen area of Bray and now have 25MB UPC broadband installed and it's working just fine!
Speed tests over past 2 days reveal average speed of 21MB download and 2.5MB upload, UPC landline phone works nicely too.
Only issues to resolve are the €60 bundle offer for Digital+ TV, landline and 25MB broadband is not available to existing TV subscribers.
But..as with all companies a few choice words in the right ears might see us getting the bundle for €60 per month and not the higher charge of €68 for existing UPC customers.
Never had Eircom, never will now!

they've absolutely butchered the main street/castle street.
Back in the early 90's in the UK, the cable companies killed 100's of roadside trees as they merrily dug all the pavements up and went through tree roots etc.
I wonder how long it will be before Eircom come along and lay their own conduits and it all starts again!0 -

ahh but i don't care about trees they won't damage my carbon fibre bike like the shoddy tarmac job that the upc contractors left behind :pac:
small price to pay for speed i guess 0 -
In Ireland your not allowed machine dig near trees, hand dig only so no killing off the trees. Eircom already have multiple ducts in the ground in most location.MrMickeyMouse wrote: »Back in the early 90's in the UK, the cable companies killed 100's of roadside trees as they merrily dug all the pavements up and went through tree roots etc.

That's only a temp reinstatement job. The only people allow leave things like that are the council themselvesCreamy Goodness wrote: »ahh but i don't care about trees they won't damage my carbon fibre bike like the shoddy tarmac job that the upc contractors left behind :pac:

Ah, good news then, as much as leaves in the gutter are annoying, living in a concrete tree-less jungle is worse!
Well nearly a full week in and so far only 1 outage mid week, guess you have to splice the network cable at some time!!!

"Estimated release date for broadband in the Seacrest area is end of October, but bear in mind this is an estimate"
When we first called UPC about the Woodbrook Glen area, back in April the estimated date given was July, so 5th August wasn't far off the mark.
Fingers crossed for you that Oct is a conservative estimate and Sept would be more realistic.0 -
