    no reason why your quality of BB service should'nt be as good as everyone else's, UPC BB is top notch.

    In Dublin 8 (esp. around Cork St.), there is heavy peak time congestion on weekdays and all weekend. Tech support is useless (see Slow UPC speeds thread and upc support nightmare thread). I'd avoid the so-called 20 Mbs package if I were you. They seem unable to provide it.

    I had the 20MB in maynooth and regularly got over 16MB - 19MB. Thought it was great, but downgraded simply because of the cost.

    Dusseldorf is an improvement, granted. However, I've also tested with real downloads at peak times and got speeds nothing like what I'm paying for.
