Does anyone know if there is any way of reducing the installation charges on this deal and/or get the 2 month half price deal (I know, I want it all!). I signed up for the deal in Curry's and got the call back today and even though I'm doing the self-install, it costs €60, on top of the €90 I'm missing out on from the half price deal (I'm getting the Fibre Power Ultimate with HD, Anytime Calls and Multiroom), which is €150 more than a normal online sign-up.

I know, I'm still €100 better off, but it's not quite the €250 I thought.

Hi folks, I'm advising a home owner on changing packages and this is looking like the best deal for them. Here's the situation.

They currently have:

• UPC basic tv package - just the basic channels, paying 25eur a month or so. No set top box
• Vodafone phone and broadband - paying approx 47eur a month, free local, national anytime calls with always on broadband and choice of 3 vodafone numbers to call free any time

They want:

• UPC package including free anytime local and national calls
• broadband
• tv

I've been advised in this post that if they cancel their current tv service, that after 30 days, they can sign up as a new customer completely to avail of the full €250 voucher as opposed to the €125 for current tv customers. They are fine with cancelling the tv for 30 days to gain €125.

I need to know:

• If their tv is cancelled, will they still be able to receive the 4 basic Irish channels, RTE, RTE2, TG4 and TV3?
• Will the package they want be available to them through the Curry's deal (full package but also including the free anytime local and national calls, which is usually a fiver extra per month, which they have no problem paying, but need to know they will still qualify for the voucher opting to pay the fiver extra deal)
• does the information in the post I linked to above signify they'll definitely get the full €250 package I wonder?
• If the deal goes through and they qualify for the €250, paying the package price for basic tv, always on broadband and home phone with free anytime calls (I believe the usual price is €65 per month), will the monthly price still be €65 per month through Curry's?
• Will they need to pay any extras, I see installation fee is mentioned above but I see you can do a self install also, but would this require technical and electrical knowledge?

Also, any suggestions on what way to go about making up for losing out on the 3 free vodafone numbers? The home owner has one friend in particular that they speak to for maybe 1 hour a week over the phone. This could add up to quite a sum without a good deal.

Any feedback greatly appreciated as they are looking to do this today or tomorrow

Applied in store...they said it would be sent out after I paid my first bill. Have paid 2 bills since and its been more than 2 months. Hate it when companies blatantly commit false advertising. UPC are saying to deal with PC world and they are saying the opposite.
