UPC Horizon

I stil cant understand why anybody woupd bring out that "sky go" type service that will only work in your own house. Its a laughable offer.   Theyll be bringing out chocolate teapots next.

Having to be connected to your UPC broadband to watch is abit sh*t but like SA says, when it evolves a bit then great. I can watch loads already with www.aertv.ie and netflix. Also the dodgy boxes are huge now, my mate is a host so I get if for €0 I've got Apple TV too, it's OK, but needs more apps, I really only use it for Netflix and for sharing stuff on the TV from my iPad, which is the best thing about it. Most of the iTunes films available are available on my cable on demand service and are cheaper there. I've had it a couple of years now but Apple haven't really done anything with it to make it better. Jailbreak the sh*t out of that lad

Eircom are running on eFibre now

Have a look at this too -

no they have other 'basics' bundles. Horizon is a load of hot air, you'd want to be a serious recorder of programmes to have much benefit. They rang me there last week to save me money. This will be interesting I thought, so I let yer man waffle away. He kindly offered me Horizon for an extra €1.50pm. Says I to him, I thought you were going to save me money. not cost me more. Chancers

Personally, telly is crap. I'll be getting rid once my contract is up and sticking an aerial up to get Saorview and free sat from the UK. 

Anyone looking to leave UPC broadband should ring up and say you're leaving, I did this and it went from €44 to €22 per month with one call. Don't think it's worth full price myself, €22 is about all it's worth, good broadband though

Dont hink you can actually get broadband as a stand alone anymore, or at least its not on their site. You with them a while? I'll chance my arm when the contract is up to keep the broadband only. Eircom are now fibre powered in my area but their price for BB alone is €1 dearer than UPC's lowest priced BB and TV package, so makes no sense

yeah and sure if not, I'll just get the Eircom one or Wimax at €19 pm for life

The last two times I told Sky I was leaving they gave first gave me 6 months free (whole package, HD, 3D, movies, sports, multiroom etc €109 pm value) when that ran out they gave me the next 9 months half price which ends this December when I'll be cancelling again
