Its currently available in selected regions around the country... and is seemingly quite good.

I'd suggest for more information you mail the address you just posted or ring them up and inquire.

NTL were providing cable a while ago, around Christmas (when I got cable), in the area around Tallaght and Templeogue in Dublin. They stopped offering the service tho in early Spring for some reason. I dont have any idea what NTL are up to now.
