Considering UPC 30mb Connection???

    Hi folks,

    Long story short as I am about to head off to work.

    I have mobile broadband, it does not suit my needs at all. Thinking of giving UPC a spin on the 30mb connection.

    I have read poor things of them in the past. Any recent subscribers? Experiences?

    Have they upped thier game? Service reliability? How the technology works as opposed to the DSL? (had a quick check but still unsure of the technology, reliability wise..)

    Please discuss.

    Sorry if this sounds a bit rushed and somewhat gibberish. I will tidy it up later...gotta run

    Thanks all

    John

    I've had it for the past 4 or 5 months. I find it excellent. It slows down a bit at peak times but still very fast. Only problems I've had are with the modem/router, it's a pile of crap. I may be sorting that by bridging my modem to a seperate router and using that for all the routing.

    Just out of curiosity I have my old bt voyager from BT. Would I be better off using that instead of the UPC one they will provide?

    BT Voyager won't work because its an ADSL modem and UPC is cable for starters,

    bearing in mind I started this thread at 5am, my common sense was still sleeping!

    Is the one UPC provide that bad? Can an alternative be purchased maybe?
