    I don't think you can get DSL in Kiltale you have to wait till the NBP start in mid 2016 and finish by 2020.we should be able to get upto 30mb and 6mb up it going to tender and the two big player be bidding Eircom and siro which if they win they give us FTTH doh fixed wireless would be bidding to doh hope they get none of it or just very small part.

    Well I rang Regional Broadband, and they said that there was a mistake on their website and they don't provide broadband anywhere in Meath.
    Anyone here using it? The guy on the phone seemed very unsure about pretty much anything he said.

    I just got a call from a friend in Kilmessan who also heard about the Eircom competition.
    She's organised a small number of people to meet in Fergies tonight at 8:30.
    We're going to head up to it, and it would be good to meet anyone else who's been following the thread in the area.
    Closing date is 15th Sept, so there'd be a lot to do in the next month.
    Many hands make light work :-)

    Hey Niall

    I was away myself. Can you let us know if there is another meeting, and if more help is needed?

    Hi Colm.
    I didn't get any notifications about this thread that I noticed, so sorry not to check in for so long.
    A group of people did get together and circulated a survey, interviewed local businesses, recorded a song and made a video!

    There's some details on the meetings in the Updates section of WeWantThePower.com and the final video submission and case studies will be up there next week also.

    Touch base on the website or the facebook page it links to if you see this.
    The competition was extended out to next week for some reason.

    Great credit deserved to all the people involved. The competition along with the separate announcement that the Tara exchange is included in the list of 66 surely markets our area as one that will have a very high take up of fibre plans.
    2017 to 2020 - ah I'm willing to wait.

    Well, the competition just closed on Eir's website.
    We got our submission in yesterday, so we'll know in the next couple of weeks if we have a future in the 21st century :rolleyes:

    You can see the video we made, and some case studies of local businesses as well as the results of our survey at wewantthepower.com

    And if we don't win, that'll be where we'll focus on other ways to bring improved internet access into the area, so bookmark it if you're nearby!

    That was pretty professional looking. Well done. Our own locals here put together this little ditty for the competition.

    Only found out about this competition now and it's over. Very impressive video there for Tara/Kilmessan, looks like alot of hard work and creativity went into it and a great job by the video editor to get the lip syncing just right to the soundtrack and video!

    That was Jay Quinlan - he's still muttering :D

    If you find yourself over on the fibrerollout.ie site watching the entertainment,
    give the video an old like.
    Not sure if they're counting them like votes, but it can't hurt!
    :eek: We're up over 1,000 likes on it already, which is gobsmacking!

    We're up to 3,500 now, but it looks like you can click Like as often as you 'like' on this page,
    so it's a bit meaningless!

    Just as an update, the result of the Fiber Rollout competition was only announced last week, November 26th, due to stiff competition leading to a difficult decision.

    Congratulations to Munterconnaught, County Cavan who have been named as the winners of eir’s 1 Gigabit Fibre Competition.
