Eir Fibre Rollout Mapping

Machinehead · 04-07-2014 12:49pm

A the moment we've got a cabinet in Blennerville & a proposed one in Camp Co. Kerry, seperated by about 13k approx. Assuming some sort of fibre connection needs to be made between the two, can it be fair to surmise that anything between those two locations could be linked to fibre broadband? or is a separate cab needed for every offshoot from the main cable heading westwards? https://www.dropbox.com/s/sy0tw0irfgoy4yx/fibre%202.JPG

Nope. The cabs are put in where existing copper runs. Even if they fitted a fibre tap mid way and put a cab in, the copper cables probably wouldn't merge there.

Hi Guys, I'm new to Boards, so not allowed to post images or links yet, so I'll have to try and explain first.

I'm in Allenwood South in Kildare, about 2.9km from the vDSL cabinet in the village. It's not enabled yet, but the Eircom site states September, while the Eircom Wholesale site say Winter 2014. But, it doesn't end there. The excellent Ireland Offline map says that Allenwood "cabinet rehomed to Robertstown". I don't know what this means. I have read so many entries here are on other sites and I still don't know what it means.

Also, as I said, I'm 2.9km away from the cabinet, will Eircom let me into the "eFibre Magical Club", or am I doomed to languish in Slow Speed Land?
I have Eircom Broadband at an amazing 0.8Megs, it's very slow, but never gets worse, so is handy as a backup and it's unlimited. My main BB is supplied by Ripplecom, but is too unreliable and far too depressing to even think about. I think my aDSL is coming directly from Robertstown, the Allenwood box was never enabled, even though there are supposed to be 3,500 people in the catchment area. I am one of the view people that actually have aDSL in Allenwood, most people don't seem to be able to get it. I live on the far side of the village from Robertstown, with the phone lines going straight through Allenwood village itself, but most people can't get even get aDSL in the centre, strange that it skips them all and then comes and extra 3Km to me. I know I do have a dedicated phone line, whereas most people are line sharing.

So please help,

What does "Cabinet Rehomed" mean?
Is 2.9Km too far away from the cabinet? (I would be happy with even 8 or 10 megs, but some charts say yeah and some say "Nay"). Some sites say 1.2Km is the maximum range for vDSL, due to bandwidth and reflection on the copper pair.
Should I build up my hopes for eFibre in 2014?

It means that the fibre will run back to a different exchange than the copper lines.

Which cabinet would you be closer to they are building 1 exactly on the cross isn't it? one also in Graydon manor in rtown, see major works going on in those 2, all round kilmeague too

Techspert · 06-07-2014 3:49pm

Hi MightyReds,

I would be much closer to the one in Allenwood, (I'm in Allenwood South). I'm 2.9km from the Allenwood Cross Cabinet and probably about 8 km from Robertstown.

TrueIt · 07-07-2014 4:46pm

Is anyone able to tell me where the Cabinets are located in Lusk and if there will be anymore installed in the area? Thanks in advance!

I thought you might be near brockaghs cross all the work is going on that end, the cabinets going in robertstown coill dubh and at allenwood cross, looks like there is no work planned at all in allenwood south and i think 2.9km is too far seems around 1.3km is the cut off point.

csaddict · 10-07-2014 7:54pm

The fibre cabinet in Enniskerry village (BRI1_046) is now live (website map says go-live for the area of August 2014).

Just got installed this evening. I'm about 800m from the cabinet so I've been set on what is (hopefully) low speeds initially (12 down, 1 up) but I'll be in touch with Eircom once I've given it a few days to try and up the speeds. From what the engineer said, I should be able to get considerably more than that given the signal strength, etc.

Still - the latency is a million times better from where we were this morning - the contention on the previous ADSL connection meant 56k speeds from about 5pm the evenings - was virtually unusable for anything more than basic browsing. Little to no contention is worth it alone for me!

Never order anything from door to door utility reps.
It will almost always end up with a f*ck up.

Just to update on my "journey" with Fibre Broadband. After a lot of time wasting on the phone I found out that Eircom actually had received the order but due to the fact that I was a "Winback" customer (previous Eircom customer coming back) my details were stored somewhere entirely different and thus no Eircom CS rep could find any reference to my order.

Deep Breath.

Despite this silliness I went through with the order and as of today have Fibre running. It's nowhere near the max speed of 70mb but it is close to the salesman's quoted 43 mb.

And that is a massive leap forward from my previous 8mb connection.

Techspert · 11-07-2014 6:05pm

I'm not one bit jealous, not even one teeny bit!

I'm so happy and content with my magnificent 0.8Meg from Eircom.

Typical eircom lie. Same happened to me (2 years ago) and I was first time ever costumer. You will truly enjoy quitting their service...;)

30.1dB upstream and 31.6dB down. The attenutation on the line is higher on the downstream than you'd expect for the distance (22dB for 800-900m)but it may be due to some conditions on the road (there's a section that is permanently wet regardless of the weather) that could be causing that.

The "Attainable Net Data Rate" is giving me 11Mb up and 35-45 down so I'm guessing I've got a bit of scope if that value means anything.

Yeah, that's a little low on the attains maybe, snrs are good. Have them test it to see if the line is earthing in that wet patch.

Eircom are laughable,said on their website that efibre was coming to my area 14th July i check again today and its not available until August with no date now.

FourFourRED · 14-07-2014 3:10pm

Hi,

I know this is off topic but I need an answer pretty fast & I know from experience that there are many helpful people in this thread.

I am a current Vodafone Fibre Broadband only customer. We don't have a home phone but when we ordered the broadband we were given a landline number.

I could be starting a job next week which is work from home and requires me to have a dedicated home phone line for the company use only.

Is this possible through Vodafone/Eircom? Or what is the best way to do this?

You should have made a new thread, but anyways.

Were you given a number beginning with 88 or a real number? If its a real number call vodafone and have them modify your package. Should only take 24hrs then youll be able to make calls. If its the 88 number it could take a week depending on whether you have a dial tone or not.

Down where I am in the South West it was supposed to be May, then June, then July.
When I checked this evening its now August :rolleyes:

Its embarrassing now being truthful about it.

mugs11 · 15-07-2014 4:16pm

Nearly sure I saw Merrion Square in Dublin down as being ready to go for June/July this year. Now I'm looking at the map and there's no rollout date at all for that area.

Its not the wait, its just embarrassing that a plan can't be laid out & followed up in an orderly fashion. There's no point in announcing that an area will be completed by such & such date when its not going to happen because the original plan was far too optimistic.
Its like a tradesman telling a customer he will be with them on Monday morning when he knows full well that he won't be finished his previous job until the following Wed or Thurs.
As I said earlier I'm not really pushed as there are some who are much worse off than I am. I have only 3Mb but at least its consistent in that it never goes up or down day or night.Some folk have nothing at all.

dbit · 16-07-2014 2:22pm

Dont know if anyone spotted this or not but Eircom have their own version (Like it is to be believed) it does however name the exchange units and they seem to be up to date as far as i can tell :-

eircomwholesale.ie/Our_Network/

Click the link for NGB broadband /Fibre ( OR image rather ) you can use distance calculators the lot.

dbit · 16-07-2014 2:29pm

Even though i live in the main village of Macroom Co Cork, they tell me and get this Yes its available in Macroom live 2 + days but that i cannot have it, NGB is the best i will ever get quoting young Ian from Eircom . Ball bags. Cannot wait until the ESB rollout the 1000MB mop up the loose ends UPC didnt get to nail. Lesson learned privatizing a telephony firm to let investors suck the life out of and then try to play catch up later - FAIL EIRCOM yet again.

In my situation my line follows the main road and rather than have me hang from an exchange that is near me I have been routed to the main exchange in the village roughly 900 meters away following the road - the main exchange is upgraded but none of the towns cabinets are yet live - they really should not advertise this as efiber available its false advertising .

12 calls in today to eircom and to be honest a drum of pertrol awaits the arrival of the *****ty* adsl modem for NGB which in fairness is 20 years old tech, how is that Next Generation broadband .

Its next gen as its on decent backhaul so it doesnt congest too much, compared to legacy DSL thats totally overloaded.

MRM isnt live at all yet it would appear:
MRM1_002 due 06/08/14
MRM1_003 due 06/08/14
MRM1_009 due 06/08/14
MRM1_010 due 06/08/14
MRM1_005 due 06/08/14

By your description though you're on a direct fed line. Thos arent getting VDSL yet except trialists until comreg and the line ops come to a deal on how it will be sold. Give it a few months and theres a good chance youll get it.

Yeah I hear ya but they have flagged on standard coverage map that macroom is now live none of the cabinets are live and the main exch is not live, they say im on MRMA - and not any of the cabinets listed so i would have imagined that MRMA would be live before the cabinets as MRMA is the central exchange for the town. I have adsl and vdsl modems (With modded firmware) and can probe the exchange no vectoring is live on MRMA.

MRMA is your AXE code I think, as in there would be MRM A, MRM B, and so on depending on size. Probably not many for a smaller town like macroom.

The exchanges are going live AFTER the cabs, as they have to work out how LLU or Local Loop Unbundling will work in those situations. Its highly regulated. Eircom have been getting ready for it but cant sell it until comreg says go.

Its annoying, but you'll likely have it soon unlike many who will be stuck on DSL for a few years more at least. Thats at least some consolation.

Dcully · 16-07-2014 5:21pm

Cab nearest me is due to go live on 23rd,eircom and vodafone site are offering to take order.
Not sure what to do,expect to be told of delay after i order since cabs arent actually live yet.
Also unsure who to go with eircom of vodafone.
I see vodafone offer a simply broadband ,im guessing which doesnt include phone,if i go with this will the bb be every bit as sold as with a phone line.

They'll take an order, but the eircom wholesale system won't accept it until the 23rd. On the 23rd a port/installation date can be allocated.

I would love to have the level of optimism you hold for Eircom's roadmap. They allowed someone on the support chain tell me I will never get it and NGB is all i can ever expect , daunting to see the cabinets going green and to have that feeling of - I wont be live for some months to come in relation to fibre. I moved to Macroom on the basis I would have firbre as per the site coverage maps. I Work as Virtual Datacenter / Cloud admin and throughput is so important NGB does not even come close to delivering with 76kbs upload .

Still you are correct i have not much to complain about when looking to others around the country , Cavans ESB tests are running nicely and the 1000MB to the home is not too far away poor poor Eircom's days are numbered. Moved away from upc int he city and man Ericoms network is still piss poor. ( Not to mention the support people and the types of things they say to people on the phone)

Ignore whoever it was you spoke to, chances are they didnt have much of a technical background.

Going on the 900m cable path you appear to be on you should get a 30Mb sync.
http://www.increasebroadbandspeed.co.uk/2013/chart-bt-fttc-vdsl2-speed-against-distance

At 30 Down that allows for 8Mb upstream which should be plenty for RDP/similar and the surrounding VPN. The lower latency of VDSL will help too as your first or second hop will be publicly routed.

EDIT:Forgot thats pre vectoring speeds. Go for 40 and 10 after vectoring, if not 50 and 10.

dbit · 17-07-2014 2:40pm

Cheers Ed E,

I am guestimating the distance , im guessing the MRMA is the main exchange in the village (Housed in the main exchange building) where the two back bone runs for fibre lines inter connect for macroom ( It is flagged as you say after the date for the cabinets so your info is accurate) , I may have a something closer if that is the case .

The lines im on are obviously over 30-40-50 years old hence why im routed down the main road into the village and not on one of the new shiny cabinets as those areas are newer with new housing estates etc..

My NGB has been hitting 17MB no worries and im tempted to bluff the stats via my modded modem to report false SNR and ERR rates so the dslam gives me more speed in. ( IT is my understanding that this is how the exchange unit determines your speed or connection config)- This will affect stability im aware but if i can knock it up ............

Cheers for your world of info very helpful Ed.

Taken from over at the Talk to Eircom board.............

Regarding continuing delays in Askeaton, Co. Limerick

Alan, Eircom - "I have been in contact with efibre operations to see if they can offer me more information surrounding Askeaton, they did specifically mention that they cannot give a guaranteed date but in consideration of progress so far in planning they do feel that efibre should reach Askeaton by the end of September - although we would ask you to treat this timeframe as indicative at this stage."

So it gets pushed out by yet another month :rolleyes:

dbit · 18-07-2014 5:15pm

Had it out with the tweeters and Forum mods - ill be 2015 before i see efiber. Heres hoping ESB get their networks up lickity split. Ridiculous that the main street of a town gets over looked due to subscription rate ramp ups being higher in large housing estates versus old school Irish main through road village type towns, in that the subscription rates would be lower from long runs on older frameworks. Not to mention the cost to deploying correct LLU infuriating !!!.

logic Courtown was pushed out about 6 weeks ago. That was 2 days Mr Alan from Eircom answered my doubts If July is still possible cos there are no cabinets yet. Hi said something like this "bla boa if there will be then there will be but if not then still will be bla bla and everything is great and OK" He ignored my question when I asked for more specific answer (yes or no?) 2 days later map changed - September

. This is useless as the map and eircom rep follow eircom policy: "blablabla we will see what happened, We are always right blabla!"
Anyway we can only wait and there is no point for their speculations.
BTW Im affright it will not be September yet!

Seansweeney · 23-07-2014 10:29am

Whats the estimated time between the cabinets being active and people actually getting fibre broadband from them? I'm living in Celbridge and it has been green and active for about 2 months now.

Eircom still can't give me any sort of estimate of when I will get connected. Its only about 200m from my house too.

The latest map show October. But I wouldn't bet on it. They keep adding a few months every time the date gets near. I'd say half of the town of Clon are direct feeds from the exchange and they won't get fibre even when it arrives at the cabs until Commreg approves it. As you are aware the exchange in Clon has had fibre for years and years. I even saw the orange cable in the ducts (when they were repairing the lightning damage last December) heading off towards Skibb. Hard to know why we have therefore been bypassed. I am hoping that a town our size will get the ESB fibre in the second round. So Eircom's reign will end but not for a few years.

DDM cab 20 has its sticker now (within the last week), not RFO though yet.

I guess you are on a direct fed line? It's a pain, but you'll have to wait until eircom wholesale, the ISPs and Comreg sign off on the processes after testing is finished.

Yup hangin off MRMA in the main exchange building in Macroom SNR's and aATTs are spot on .
