Thats not bad BB. The Upc Broadband is deadly in fairness but I couldnt be dealing with an annoying remote cause it would be gone over balcony along with my boyfriend if it started acting up!

UPC technician out to the gaf earlier to fix broadband, he asks the owl one what was the problem she said she didn't have a clue, your man went off in the car and never returned

Seriously how can they send people out to a house without telling them the faults, I saw the funny side of it, the issue has only been going on for 4 months, what's another few days.

You must have the old STB with UPC. Suckers
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Some set top boxes are known to have issues.

Google UPC set top boxes.

I suppose I have never had sky, only UPC. I find it pretty good, remote does some silly things but when you get used to it you can see the stupid thing its about to do and counteract it! I also have it for free cos I let them put a cable on the side of the house! Thumbs Up

Box is a pain in the hole but the prices are better with UPC and the internet is rapid.

Have phone, broadband, espn, sky sports, sky movies, and most channels (no setanta 1, espn classic, fox or a few others), paying them €118 a month (well, I only pay half). Would be paying a fair bit more with sky.

Anyone with UPC? they have changed their T&Cs which means you can downgrade change or exit your contract. What I will be doing tomorrow is cancelling my current €69 pm contract which is tv phone and broadband, and then resigning up for the same plan which is now €66, a €3 pm saving. But wait, there's more......as a 'new sign up again, this plan is €50 for 6 months, that's a €16 saving per month or €96 over the 6 months. Add the €3 saving per month for the next 6 months and that's an extra €18. A grand saving of €114 on your new 12 month contract.

Shamfinance to the rescue again.

UPC have also brought out their own version of "SkyGo" called Horizon, so you can watch TV on up to two devices anywhere you go. Only available on ipad/iphone at the moment though. Android version is expected in the summer.

When you re sign up Sham does it not need to be under a new customers name for that offer to take affect?

Not true, you need to be on the broadband connected to that bill which is a load of bollox in truth.
