    Has anyone else received this in their email yet, seems like a very good deal on the face of it, obviously doesn't go into details about which network they will be operating on or whether they will be offering 4G, still thou for €15 per month its worth a chance.

    They're using the 3 network.

    Seems like a fantastic offer. If they're using 3 hopefully they'll get 4G too.

    Hoping to get this email soon!

    Pity their TV offering is so ****e. I have broadband with them but will be moving that to Sky once my contract is up so I get a bundled deal from Sky.

    Nice!

    That was in the making for a long time. Was looking forward to see whatever they were gonna offer. I was expecting quad play for existing upc customers rather than a standalone. I'm still in contract though, otherwise I would have signed up for this already.

    I have been waiting for UPC's mobile service for over a year.

    Better offer than I was expected, and will sign up as soon as I get an email. If I get one that is.

    OP. If you want to forward that email over to me, by all means! lol

    I'm a BB and phone customer, no TV package from them, and I haven't received the email from them either, this was forwarded on to me from someone who has. On the sign up page it's asks for your account number so I'm guessing they know which accounts holders have been selected for this deal.

    Unlike other phone companies, UPC will continue their practice of upping their prices annually

    Worth the hassle? Not for me. Tescomobile. Same price but with 1GB

    I think whoever got mail are trialists there would be a massive media campaign if upc were going live with the network

    The UPC phone app is quite good, if they tweaked it and integrated it into a phone they could offer a great package so that you only have one number

    It's excellent, I was able to use it to pick up home phone calls when using data in the US this Summer...

    30GB is very good but I wonder if and how much the 3 network data might be throttled to. I remember before i couldnt live stream on their 3G so switched network.
    Currently whats the approx speedtest for the 3 network?

    It really differs. I'm on Three, and using 4G I can get anywhere from 5-10Mbps download (and similar upload speeds), but sometimes can get far more.
    The 3G networks differs also, and I don't get the same speeds as the 4G network, obviously.

    However, I've been trying iD Mobile on the Three network as a trial user and I've been getting 14Mbps download on the 3G network of the aforementioned.


    Three speeds differ and they seem to allocate space accordingly.

    Put it this way, its a Frankenstein network. It can go anywhere on the scale from excellent to WTF.

    I had a similar thought when I read the part about the price changing next year.

    1GB of data is a pitiful amount.


    33MB a day!

    Depends on what you do with your phone. I'm on wifi most of the time and 1GB of data is sufficient for me.

    And by that stage a new offer will be around no doubt, you cannot compare tescomobile deal to UPC's cos they are not the same, not even close, data is more important to customers these days than texts or minutes IMO
