    Hi, Just as the post says, How far outside the city does Upc reach. We might have to move to kilmeadan, in the next while and my brother has just moved to Fenner. He wasn't sure either, but heard it doesn't reach any area in Tramore. he tried ringing but couldn't get through.

    Fenor and Kilmeaden are whats called mmds areas so the tv service is available in both.
    Unfortunately the phone and broadband is not there im afraid. If you need any help let me know (I work in the upc sales office) and il gladly help you :)

    Upc is basically nationwide for tv service whether its cable or mmds - only difference is depending on the area if your on mmds you could be missing a few channels. Areas like certain parts of Donegal and west coast of country are no service areas aswell as certain appartment blocks which are contracted out to different providers (eg The Old Infirmary in Waterford)

    Upc is in Tramore!!!!

    For what its worth if you want decent telly that is clear and consistent then keep away from MMDS and go with SKY. MMDS does not provide a good picture unless you have direct line of sight with the transmitter. As for service from UPC....well thats another thread:)
    This is my experience at any rate.
