    i've been told recently that upc broadband is now available at my address. i previously had ntl but we switched to sky a while back and they disconnected us. all of the connections are still in the house.

    if i signup to upc now for broadband will it simply be a matter of them turning this back on and posting me a cable modem?

    thanks

    Possibly. Self-install may be an option, but only UPC can tell you.

    Otherwise it'll need an engineer to install it and register the modem to allow it to be provisioned on the network.

    Self install isnt an option for this afaik. Order via www.upc.ie/boardsoffer and get a €50 voucher, free activation , and free install. Needs to be ordered before end of year to get this deal though.

    They will come with the router, install, reconnect outside and then check it works

    when i posted last night they were closed which is why i didn't ring them. i spoke to them today (got the boards thing already davy but thanks).

    the self install is an option for me but it'll be quicker to have someone "install" it. the couriers are off over xmas but the installers all have equipment already.

    cheers
