    Eoin and Mike if this is not relevant to this forum please do not hesitate to move it. Or if it has been brought up before delete it.

    I am moving to Charlesland in two weekends and i just want to ask people what their opinions are on the three different digital packages.

    I am going to order the service sometime next week and don't know which package is the best value for me.

    All opinions welcome.

    Up til about a couple of weeks ago NTL / UPC/Chorus only offered MMDS Digital. Theyve just finished upgrading and from what I can tell have some really good Broadband + Phone + TY offers (something like €70 every 2 months for all 3 for the basic package I think?).

    You can now also get DVR for your telly (pause, rewind etc) for an extra fiver as well as an improved digital service (existing MMDS customers take note as I wasnt aware til I rang them today). If I wasnt locked into a BT contract I'd switch to them for broadband & phone aswell today, you can save yourself alot of money.

    Doing a search might answer that for you. ;)

    Their BB is meant to be excellent so if that's available i will be ordering that too.

    The engineer slaughtered them, back in the office, he said they were clueless. Apart from an engineer not turning up and a poltergeist controlling our remote we've had no problem with them.

    You've had that as well... It's a major pain in the hole when you're watching something and right at the pivotal moment that baldy fecker appears on screen telling you how to change your viewing card in an old piece of kit.

    And im in the Park. Unreal eh. You think they'd be pushing the DVR wouldnt you.

    If someone sees a small fire in the Park, dont worry, its only me burning my remote. I really want to stamp on it.

    an engineer was putting a dvr into my house and he told me that the broadband is only being put in now (thats was what was causing the tv service to keep freezing over the past months). he said that bband would be available in a few months time.

    My bill clearly states im paying for BB. Maybe they're talking about high speed BB. I reckon thats what the mix up is.

    There may also be a distinction/confusion between "Greystones" and "Charlesland, Greystones" which have been served by completely different systems.
