is there somewhere I can see a complete list of NTL coverage?

hi,

any place I can see a list of where NTL is available? I'm really looking to get away from eircom, and NTL seem like a viable choice... 3mb/300kbps download/upload rules tbh.

My friend has the 1.5mb service, and he gets nearly the same speed as my 2mb from eircom...

It is possible that there may be something like that somewhere in ntl ireland's (or whatever they are now called) offices. No way you, a potential customer are going to get a look at it or anything like it though.

Phone ntl on 1800 234 234 and find out if it's in your area(s).

btw ntl don't do a 1.5Mb service anymore - it was upgraded to 3.0Mb.

And the price was dropped to €45

and it's still only available to half a dozen people in a corner of tallaght.

i call them pretty much every month, and ask about my area, but despite being right near the centre of town, and in a big NTL area, there's no sign of NTL BB here yet.

NTL is in more than Tallaght now. I have it (town) parents have it (Ballsbridge). It is in quite a few areas these days.

Errr....I think you will find this is not correct - Loads of areas now BB enable including ones in Waterford and Galway....About 120,000 homes enabled.

Have to correct you on that one: NTL have over 110,000 homes enabled for broadband.

correct me if i was wrong, you would have received a letter in the mail before, if you were bb enabled.

It's very good - and in some areas its very very good! Sorry - cant be more specific. From Public Domain knowledge, they have about 12000 BB subs currently so over 10% in total but in geographic areas it varies greatly.

Normally that's the case; and if you're an existing customer (tv package) then you'll get a notification in your bill.
But there's no harm in phoning them to ask them if it's in your area (bills are only every 2 months, and leaflets don't always find their way to letterboxes etc.). Of course if they say "It's coming soon" you've got to take it with a large pinch of salt.

I've tried that link ant it tells me I can only get their basic TV package. I've already got their digital package so I'm not inclined to trust the results.

I like to phone them every now and again to ask about bb anyway. I would encourage everyone to do likewise. Just to remind them that there is demand for the product. Although I'm sure they know that anyway, but every little helps!

I don't know if that link works properly. I know before it was just telling everyone that they could get NTL broadband even if they couldn't. They have obviously done something to fix it but it may be still dodgy. I think you are better off ringing them.

I got a flyer in the door, saw advertisements on billboards and got notified in the bill when broadband was available in the area, so you'll know when you can get it. With the NTL sale to UGC (one of the largest cable providers in the world) you should see a merger between Chorus and NTL (since UGC own chorus too) and hopefully a lot of growth in cable availability.
