    Anyone got UPC broadband in Lusk? Be interested in the speeds people are getting with it. Might change.

    Apologies for resurrecting this as a zombie thread but UPC triple play coming to Lusk around the early autumn. So that's 100Mb speeds.

    Expect lots of other operators trying to lock you into contracts before this happens.

    Lusk Village, Chapel Farm, Orlynn Park not sure about Dun Emer

    You'll see manhole covers with the UPC name on them in Orlynn Park close to where the mast used to be, also one on the Dublin Road near Kelly's Garage at the second entrance into Chapel Farm

    Speak with your friendly local politico. They'll probably say no but say it very nicely.

    Would speaking to UPC directly not be better?

    I took my chances there and attempted to order some nice broadband from UPC. It failed but someone will be in touch within 2 days I'm told. Registering interest is a key thing for companies like that. My current broadband (with vodafone) is grand, but they are charging me through the nose for it because I have no real alternative.

    You can get better pings than that with DSL on low interleaving. I'm pinging unreal.ie (the gold standard afaic) at an average of 11ms. Still though...20Mbps.....Jealous.

    I was looking forward to the upgrade so that I could avail of NGB in Dun Emer, knew it was to happen in April and checked on speedtest.net several times to see if any better, never goes much above 1.5 download - called Eircom this evening and I was told that I'm too far from the exchange and not likely to improve, only difference supposedly should be the contention ratios.

    Oh I hope UPC becomes available in Dun Emer too, makes me sick hearing the speeds people get in other areas and trying to make do with bloody 1.5mb here :(

    Your prob pretty close to the exchange if you can lower your interleaving not 3km away like us luskians.

    Is interleaving something that I can check/set?

    I was walking down Hedgestown lane towards the Centra and I spotted a scar across the road from Chapel Farm to the Dun Emer side and then spotted one very new looking man hole cover with UPC written on it

    will I take this as a good development?

    I rang up UPC for the craic. The lady was quite honest and said that Rush wasn't on the roll-out schedule, then said "there definitely wouldn't be any chance this side of xmas".

    I shall not be holding my breath...
