Why Broadworks Communications are crap......
I did'nt think it possible to end up with only one possible TV provider living a stones throw from Dublin City........but it has happened.
Broadworks Communications are an Irish based TV provider with a sub-standard service. From what I can see they are basically a reseller of Sky's services, tagging on a few other services for good measure. In terms of the service, it is poor to say the least. Channels frequently suffer from heavy visual distortion....like they are being beamed down to us from Mars. The general reception is poor and the picture quality is never sharp.
Broadworks is delivered to your television via old TV cable, no sign of decoding boxes etc....just plain old clunky cable. It is a frequent occurrence to turn on a channel an see nothing but the sky menu, with a message saying this channel is currently unavailable!!!!! Seeing this is obvious proof that Broadworks are receiving a sky signal and hacking it up into resalable packages and piping it out to our development.
In terms of professionalism my major gripe would be their letter heads. We have received letters and bills that look like they were printed on an old printing press. The logo looks like word art! One would almost think this was a company set up by property developers.....who then give exclusive contracts to provide TV coverage per development........hmmmmm.
To rub salt into the wounds NTL and SKY are not allowed onto the development. Basically Sky have their hands tied as we are unable to erect Sky dishes outside our apartments, and NTL have been refused permission by our NAZI builders to lay cable to provide a service, as they own the common ground still???
So with a gun to our heads we watch fuzzy TV, with a handful of stations. Is this fair.....no. Is this legal....apparently.....will this change (who knows)
