This thread is ofc for those that have broadband, but I doubt anyone still has dial-up...

I used to have Vodafone that was included in the rent in my old place, and most of the time that was fine.

However, now that I have moved, I got other internet (Eircom) and it kinda sucks as it is free internet shared with the whole neighbourhood around here. If someone is downloading a movie, don't even think about downloading something or playing a game, it's so damn slow that it's even hard to load this website.

I was thinking about getting my own dedicated internet service, and I was always told to stay clear of eircom and vodafone, due to crap service at ridiculous prices (research kind of confirmed this).

I was thinking instead of getting UPC 30 Mb line (I only need a cable television connection, is that right?).

Has anyone got experience with this or with UPC in general concerning broadband?
