Today there was three ESB vans at the Cuil Na Cuil Canalght box today and my my only thought was the average wage of a ESB worker is €65,000 a year and how many does it take to change a light bulb . . . so just need the cabinet to be fitted now

They were installing a new mini pillar.
The mini pillar beside the new cabinet will take it's feed from it.

KN did the ground work for it yesterday.

Yes they dug a trench across the road to meet the plinth and esb box which was built the other day

I have a feeling the'll put it across the road in the green area. Close to the big ESB sub. Could be wrong though.

mickyoc85 · 22-11-2013 6:39pm

was thinking that myself as it would look a bit silly beside the current one with the black fence around it,,,i sent an email to Paul Connaughton to shed some light and see if there is an issue with the developer,,if thats the case i wont be long ringing to see what the problem is.

I doubt there is really. If there was going to be a problem anywhere I thought it would be in Cúil Na Canálacht but no. They're just not doing them in any particular order.
There are a few big ones left to be done yet. They'll get to it.

Cúil Na Canálacht cab.....

I'm having awful trouble this past 2 weeks, in Hillcrest, on Vodafone with one of the Silver eircom modems and and the connection keeps dropping. Not a red light, just no DSL light and no internet light. I keep restarting the modem and sometimes is connects, but it's usually for less then a minute. It's breaking our hearts here. Rang Vodafone tech but there was nothing he could do his end. Do I just wait it out for eircom to finish the work while Vodafone keep charging me for a service I'm not getting?

Try a different modem if you can. Those silver ones are old and dying like flies lately.
PM me if you're stuck for one. I should have something here. I haven't heard of anyone else with problems around Hillcrest.

flazio · 27-11-2013 4:35pm

Got a new modem from Argos, much improved. Thanks

mickyoc85 · 27-11-2013 4:59pm

what type of modem did you buy if you dont mind me asking?

flazio · 27-11-2013 10:38pm

TP Link TD-W8969 300mps modem €45.99
Before anyone tells me I could have got better online, bear in mind I couldn't get online.

Got word from Paul Connaughton today,,he got an email from a guy at eircom called Paul Bradley,,,the guts of it says that all planned cabs have been approved wayleave and that customer should be able to order the third week in January with a go live date for the last week in Feb,,he also said that they have to wait 28days to allow other operators to market the product,,,so all in all not long toi wait for decent broadband:D

kaizersoze · 03-12-2013 8:43pm

Feb is what I'm hearing as well.
I'm still trying to find out about the 17th cab in Lios Garbh that's not listed for upgrade.

mickyoc85 · 04-12-2013 12:26pm

No. Nothing yet.
From an Eircom contact......
They were having problems with accessing power but I think they have a plan now. There's only one pole nearby but they cannot take power from a pole with a street light as the council are paying for it. CIE ignored their requests for access to power in the station carpark. Nearest mini pillar is is Ashfield drive. Looks like the cab will be going in there close to the power.

They are awaiting the contractor to return. That's the delay.
3 cabs in planning for their return. I believe the Derrymullen cab is one. Not sure of the other 2 yet.

Hymany cab is now commissioned & live.
Cúil an Canálacht is commissioned but not live for some reason.
Millrace cab is awaiting power.

Orders being accepted for Ballinasloe from Tuesday next 21st.

Nice.:) Report back on your speeds.

Strange about Roscarn. I would have thought it was on the Kilgarve cab across the road which is live. They may be on the cab at Creagh church whhich hasn't been done yet.

26 down/8 up. That's quiet a bit off 70.:)

With 17.2 attenuation I take it you're either over near the Pollboy crossroads or up in Beechlawn Heights.:)

Go to www.speedtest.net and run a test.

cauliflower69 · 27-01-2014 5:14pm

Yeah ran a speedtest earlier and it was 26/7. In the worst position between the two cabs but hey it works
