If you have UPC broadband at home you may have noticed the blisteringly fast new speeds you can reach. 20Mb on the top package puts it on a par with Dungarvans famous offering. If you haven't been moved to a faster package automatically you will need to fill in this form. You can upgrade from from 1Mb to 3Mb, 3Mb to 10Mb or 6Mb to 20Mb for free, but will need to sign up to a new 12-month contract.
It's not all doom and gloom for the 99% of DSL users on Eircoms resold Bitstream product (which powers almost every other ISP) as there are free upgrades coming to you "in the next four weeks". They won't be quite as dramatic though, with the top residential package moving to a mere 7.6Mbps. How awful.
No word of reactions from Smart, Digiweb or Irish Broadband at this time.
Don't expect any movement from the 3G crowd, they're fighting their own battles.
PS. What the hell happened to Wimax? Too expensive? Not enough available spectrum? Name not catchy enough?
Recession got you down? Live a little without spending a lot!
