UTV wireless

    Hi, myself and my brother are considering getting UTV wireless broadband. https://ssl2.u.tv/utvclicksilver/hardware.asp?item=wireless

    Does anyone else have it, and how good is it? We've done the Eircom trial, and are not going with them, we can't get Smart broadband as we're already subscribers with them (Eircom - who else - have a blocker in so we have to switch the phone back to them first) and we've heard irish broadband isn't the best.

    So does anyone know anything much about the UTV service, or have any good info on a viable alternative?

    Thanks in advane.

    Apparently avoid like the plague. Afriend of mine just left them and he said theyre appaling. Slow connection speeds and terrible support. By the sounds of things digiweb metro is the way to go.

    I ordered it and the first one was broke and then eventually got another one so now have 2???

    Their support is muc but speeds are ok with the BT Voyager 2100 & have had no problems with it

    now all I have to figure out is how to work an ftp server through a router??

    Have to say I'm delighted with UTV.....admittedly the main reason I chose them was for the free UK calls, but I have the standard Clicksilver service & no problems in the 8 months I have it.

    I'm using mine Wireless but with the eircom Caymen netopia 3347 router. I took the Eircom wireless trial and didn't take it up after the three months, but you keep the router (admittedly it costs ya €99).

    Seems to work fine with UTV

    the configuration is the same for all Irish ISP's apart from the username and password obviously on all Irish DSL companies so its relatively easy to change ISP with them if its a DSL company

    this is awful advice and totaly wrong.you get a 12 month contract, so can not change for a year ,with out paying a penalty.
    i have also heard in alot of cases, it can take 4 weeks for one isp to release your line and another to connect you.
    where did you get the idea that it was just the password that had to be changed? first your current isp has to release your line, then the new isp has to connect it to their DSLAM in the exchange.
    its not too complex but isp's in this country tend to be very slow to act.
