UPC doesn't use your landline.

So if UPC can provide you broadband through their own network, then you'll be able to get 30mb, and they're likely to upgrade to 100mb in the near future.

I think 30mb with UPC is cheaper than 8mb with Eircom tbh. Maybe someone else can confirm?

I was on 15mb with UPC, downgraded to 5 just to see if I really needed the extra 10, and I didn't.

Unless you're downloading huge volumes, 5 mb should do yo fine. FWIW, mine never drops much below 5, other isp's are flakey.

Yup, I have the 30mb UPC. Awesome. After years of Irish Broadband and the shocking Eircom

I just ordered UPC 30mb too. Check the sticky mega speed thread on top of the page and all the UPC customers are getting very close to what they should have. Eircom and Voda canbe dodgy and most people are getting nowhere what they're paying for.

I started ordering online and ended up ringing them. I was glad I did as I got a lot of info over the phone.
