At 6 euro a month for a landline connection excluding any calls made, this is quite inexpensive, but does anyone on AAM use UPC for a home landline? Is it a reliable phone service?
 
we have it at home for all 3 ie phone broadband and tv. no problems or complaints so far ,almost 2 years and i havent heard any moans from she who must be obeyed when the bill comes in, so it cant be that bad, re phone bill costs.
 
Ditto. If you've a power cut or your router goes on the blink, of course, the phone won't work. But I haven't had a glitch in almost three years with either their broadband or the phone service.
 
It works for me, but I'm thinking of dropping UPC because the quality of the TV programming is so bad. I'm thinking about switching to a freesat option, with no monthly fee.
 
I use landline and internet with UPC for work purposes, always been reliable, good quality calls etc. I get the Anytime World package as most of my calls are overseas which is a big help.

Be aware that if you don't get the TV as well, there is a standalone charge aplied to your bill of €7.50 or something....
 
Thanks for all replies. I already have UPC for the basic digital TV so I might get the phone. They have offered me the phone connection at zero euros per month as a "loyalty bonus" but I need to read the terms and conditions again.

We're in the same boat, but the ability to pause live TV and record is what is keeping us with UPC at the moment...any idea if you can do this with a freesat option in Ireland?

Yes, with a PVR - the Humax Foxsat one seems to be the most popular, I find it very good. Costs about €300 though, although that's obviously a one-off cost.

Here's a selection of Freesat receivers - you can pause and record with any of the PVRs:
