    Then you need to be in a Virgin area.

    You know that you don't have to use the landline part of most broadband packages if you don't want to.

    VDSL can be great depending on your distance from the cabinet/exchange.
    Take your pick from Westnet, Airwire, Digiweb, eir, Pure Telecom, Sky Ireland and Vodafone, they're are probably more too can't remember

    You're going to need 25Mps to stream UHD and that's not leaving any overhead for other devices on your network.
    If you are a few hundred metres or less from the nearest cabinet it may be possible to get that speed or more.

    This map is not really kept up to date but you might be able to use it to see how far you are from a cabinet
