What concession/discount do you have with UPC?

my granny has free upc tv for life as she let them dig up her area outside to run fibre cables and they replaced the ground as it was, but because she let them they gave it to her for free.

Yeah, I sort of feel like wegot the short end of the stick, especially with the amount of time we have to let them in to our back garden to work on the box.

Free basic tv for life, which amounts to 25 Euro per month discount..

They run their cable from street cab through a duct in my garden to feed our row of houses..

What's the name on that discount? Ours is called a half basic concession. Think at the time they told us that we got tv at half price when they were putting their box up on the wall.

We have a box in our lawn. Should I be asking for something off my bill because of it?

Definitely. Did you sign anything when they were getting it installed? What does the box look like?

Oh I'm not sure then. We have a grey box on the side of the house that's about 0.5m x 0.5m. If you haven't signed anything, then it's worth getting in contact and look to get an agreement set up with them. We've had ours for ages so I'm not even sure how you'd go about getting that done. Good luck though.

Have you talked to them about the price increases yet? Bring it up then and see what deal they can do with your package.

Is that concrete and what's in the centre? Can't make it out.

Looks like a concrete man hole cover with a pull tab in the centre.

Posted while on the phone, didn't see posters location. Never saw a manhole cover like that used in Dublin. Chorus may have used something like that.

We have a few around the area. Most of the cabling for the street is along the houses just under the gutters, but there are some manholes with UPC written on them.
