Does anyone use the Setanta Broadband service? How is it??

I've had it since the beginning of the year. All the quirks have been irnoned out now - I'd highly recommend it.

tis fantastic !!

Cool. Cheers guys. I'll get signed up

Does anyone know if it works when you're abroad, or is it like the BBC iPlayer, where it only works if you're on a UK IP address?

im confused. is this service free or can you get it only if you subscribe to setanta??

You can subscribe for their broadband at £7.99 a month, which allows you to view all their channels, plus an on-demand service, over your normal broadband It's no contract either, so you just pay by the month...

You don't have to be signed up to either their sky, or freeview options either...

PM Asterix, he's had it for ages.

Cheers sir

Interesting that it's pay per month rather than a contract. Is it easy enough to cancel or a load of hassle?

Setanta have a notoriously poor cancellation system - 60 days notice, with cancellation in writing to an address in Newry, Co Down (at least it is in N.I Steve!)

This inspite of the fact that you can sign up over the phone or on line instantly! They have come in for a lot of heat for it, particularly from Martin Lewis and a Radio 5 Live phone in where they were universally panned.

(Personally I think the boxing and UFC coverage is excellent but if you do want to cancel, for whatever reason, you shouldn't have to jump through all the hoops that you currently do..)

It's a really good service. The connection is great. They could do with improving the quality a little. I actually cancelled it a few months ago as I now have Setanta, but I'd recommend the Broadband service.
