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.

If you here of the other 2 cabs let me know,,,cheers

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.

Back in town this morning. Started work on the Glantaun cab.

cauliflower69 · 27-01-2014 3:44pm

Ok so back with an update. Line is done and getting 3.2 down and 1.2 up. I was expecting a little more but the upload is great.

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

Not too shabby at all,,are you paying for the 70mb package though?

cauliflower69 · 27-01-2014 6:41pm

I'm with Vodafone paying 37 euro a month (3 euro discount for being mobile customer) as I want to keep the landline. I remember having dual ISDN lines way back when so this is fine

kaizersoze · 28-01-2014 5:56pm

Only doing Glantaun this visit. Working in Galway tomorrow. No idea when they'll be back. They only get a couple of days notice where they're working.

Theres one active at the moment in Kilgarve,,i understand thats theres one being installed in Glentaun at the minute

There are plans to add one at creagh Church aswell

kaizersoze · 02-03-2014 5:15pm

Glantaun installed but not live. Cab at creagh church that covers most, if not everything, down Shannonbridge rd hasn't started yet. Kilgarve court cab is live. Last I checked the cab down at the IDA Business park wasn't live. Must check again.

gutteruu · 16-04-2014 10:39pm

mickyoc85 · 17-04-2014 11:16am

Looks like a fibre cab is currently underway beside Joe Hayes shop,,3 to go after this one,,,creagh,,esker hills and Ashfield,,hopefully they get the finger out and get them all done in a short space of time

iscom · 17-04-2014 12:29pm

You had to enter an 18 month contract? Thought it was automatic upgrade with no new contract ?

No only if you wanted a free modem
I don't honestly think you could get any better value with free phones incl Mobiles calls and unlimited downloads for just €37 per month. . . ok maybe in time it maybe be possible a little cheaper but doubtful so I am happy with this deal

mickyoc85 · 17-04-2014 5:56pm

What speed can your line handle,,your up in cunalach arent ya?
