My local exchange, MRO1_E01, goes live on the 10th Aug, although we're to far away for efibre hopefully the ADSL rack will be transferred over from radio to fibre backhaul in the process and remove the congestion that currently exists.
Congrats neighbourino

Our exchange (Rearcross) is still down for "Autumn 2016". Unless they provide ADSL2+ as well as eVDSL, then even that won't matter a sh1te to me cos I'm a gnats pube over 2KM from the exchange.

Is it wirth ringing Vodafone to put in an order now or should I wait until the 10th?
Me too and I can't wait, it's over two years late at this stage. I've been living with these speeds for far too long

Digiweb Line Checker says I should get around 40MB. Was hoping for around 60 :P

Our village has been waiting over a year.
The KN guys have been out to my local exchange a couple of times and Eircom have told us over the phone that we should have it by the end of the summer but I'm very sceptical as we are quite rural.
One more question - I'm about 500m away from the cabinet (and about 260m away as the crow flies) as per the map and I'm also on a blue line. Will I be (virtually) guaranteed to benefit from fibre speeds if/when the cabinet becomes active?0 -

Yeah. We've had open eir lads at our exchange regularly over the last year. There was some problem with the racks (I couldn't get more than that) but the scuttlebutt is that the exchange will get it by September.
If you are on a 500m line from a cab, then you could get 80-90Mbps (lucky-ducky). Have you any form of ADSL at the moment? If so, can you post the line stats (Downstream Attenuation in particular). We can approximate your line length with that.
If you did get eirFibre at those speeds, then I'm not sure the Blue line will mean too much to you in the immediate future, but might do in 3-5 years.0 -

As far as I've heard there aren't any plans outside areas already listed for eVDSL. For rural POTS only exchamges it doesn't make financial sense to purchase the service unit or encourage coppers continuation.
You see, here's the thing - while that might make financial sense, it doesn't make any sense practically or legislate for the NBP.
For example, in my county, there are exchanges being enabled for eFibre where there was never any wired broadband (except dial up) available before. Now, some of these areas have blue lines and covered in their "up to 1000MB 2017-2020 rollout"........but.......there are other areas where the exchange is being enabled for eFibre BUT this is only available in a very small area beside the exchange.
Looking at the map, I can see a couple of villages where the exchange is being enabled but when you link it to the NBP map, the only area that will be covered is the main village itself which would make up around 10% or less of the total population of the area.
So, my question is, what happens to the people in cases like this (i.e. where their local exchange is enabled but they are too far away to avail of Fibre)? Do they have to sit tight and wait to see what the NBP brings or will Eir be able to upgrade these exchanges pretty handy and be able to offer FTTH?
In cases like this, I would imagine that the villages who are only being scheduled for FTTC/Exchange are praying that the Government go with the FTTH option for the NBP or else they will be left behind yet again and we'll back here in a few years time in a different thread talking about more rollouts and yet another NBP.....
Or maybe I've just got the whole thing wrong???
