UPC is just about the best value broadband available, but it's not available everywhere. Having UPC TV doesn't guarantee broadband of phone availability. In fact, even if broadband is available, they don't always offer phone (even though the phone service is VOIP on their Internet connection). Bizarre, but that's the way it is. You'll need to check what's available.

get UPC broadband installed & add a digital TV package if you want,..then contact blueface.ie for your phone service,.it works on your BB connection like the UPC phone service but far better/cheaper..do your figures & see what I mean.

Blueface is cheaper.

Blueface is Not "Better".
But absolutely can't offer the stability, security and quality of UPC's native service, which doesn't go over the Internet. Blueface is inferior because it can only go on Public Internet.
