    Working here in Roselawn area all morning.

    Though there is (yet again) a noise issue on the line which causes infrequent and short disconnections.

    Don't have On Demand in Ongar. UPC told me we'd be getting it in a few months.

    If you like fast Internet, then yes. It's a no brainer.

    This. For the price their broadband is really good

    Agreed though, I cant understand why areas in the modern network dont have on demand yet, my parents 100 year old gaff on the southside has it and they wouldnt know what to do with it!

    Hi,

    I live in Carpenterstown. I have been ringing UPC non stop. They first advised 5th Aug then 10th then 17th then 20th and still nothing.

    It is in Roselawn and the Laurel Lodge area as my friends have it.

    It is meant to be very good. Hoping I get it soon.

    I will be ringing them again this evening, it's beyond a joke now!

    There was a massive network failure in the Roselawn area a while ago. They decided it was quicker/easier to switch to the new network rather than fix the old one. I think this is the only reason why it's available in this area.

    So the lesson is....go out and break some cables :D

    It's appeared for me in Mulhuddart now. I rang up at the time it was announced to see when i'd get it and was told I'd get a letter notifying me when it was going to start here but this never happened so I hadn't checked in about a month or so but I just checked there and I have it now.

    In Carpenterstown myself and as far as I know we don't have it. Up by Woodbrook if it makes any odds. Can check out later when I get home, but have been tired of checking to be honest.

    I have it here in Carpenterstown but had a bit of a job to get it!

    Only moved into the house here in September, had it for a day or 2 but then it disappeared! So after a few weeks once I got the time and energy, I rang UPC and spent a good half hour on the phone to them. It was more the fact I was paying for the service and not getting it than anything else as I've rarely used it since. Anyway, they couldnt tell me why it was appearing on their systems as being available but wasnt been displayed as on option to me! They said they'd look into it, send out an engineer etc and call me back.....heard nothing but a few days later I checked again and there it was in all its glory!

    So basically Id say call them up, complain, look for an answer and say that people in the area have it and you might get lucky!

    Have had it here in Blakestown for a few months now. To be honest, I barely use it. Mostly only the homegrown programs from RTE and TV3 are available to view on it and I don't watch too many of those.

    I checked it again today, as I do sporadically, and I have it now. So anybody else who didn't have it, it's probably worth re-trying.
