Cold nights?

 

[Man In A Can]

Yeah the last two nights have been freezing. Is that normal behaviour for UPC?

 

[pete]

Seems to be out our way.

 

[The septic]

Got the 10mb upc package last week. The last two nights the signal has just gone and then come back straight away a few times during the night. Anyone else having this problem. Im in D7?

Was having problems there for a while. Went out in my gaff (D11) at about 8 two or three nights a week. TV still worked fine. My computer is packed to the gills with music and pics so I deleted a good few gigs and it seems to be working fine now. Could be that or just a coincidence although the lights on the router flashed in a new and unexciting way when it wasn't working.

I'm tempted to switch to UPC- just to cut costs but this loss of service is a bit worrying

the fact that their TV browser is constantly fucking up doesn't instil much confidence either

 

[RayRay]

Iv had a few problems with both TV and internet but and aul turn off, unplug, plug back in and turn on has sorted it right out.

I do this on average about once a week with the internet

 

[therealjohnny]

I find Eircom very reliable-- but spending money on line rental for a phone I never use has to stop

UPC FTW.END OF.

We've had UPC since September, without any problems.

Music channel selection leaves a lot to be desired though, for us anyway.

 

[pete]

I miss Scuzz

 

[SomethingManic]

I've never had the Q music channel. Sometimes when i'm passing it and it has a great show on, I cry a little.

NME isn't a bad station, wish we had that. I have it in Donegal home though.

 

[therealjohnny]

I have NTL/UPC-- all the music channels are terrible

BBC4 and SkyArts are the only decent channels for music

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

I have UPC broadband, no TV.
It 0wns.

 

[pete]

so they're going up to 150MB now, and UPC said this week that they'll finally be available to sell it to me "in december"

oh boy.

 

[HMD]

Are you hostIng sites? Are you just getting it because it's there?

 

[pete]

Are you just getting it because it's there?

pretty much

BUT

it'll make downloading site backups much much much less painful for me, and also uploading my own backups to crashplan.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

You beauty.

 

[Anthony]

Not great so.

 

[dudley]

currently on 60mb connection. i only ever use the laptop over wifi, and it never gets better speedtests than about 45mb. can't remember the spec but i can't imagine it'll get any faster if i get the 100mb will it?

ALSO, my ps3 is wired to the router, but it only gets about 4MB download, are they throttled?

 

[Anthony]

Yea, I must try plugging into the router. It's in a shity place though. Oh well
