Wherever BT have fibre near. As far as I know they have fibre along the railways so towns with train stations have a good shout. BT's LLU rollout has been exceptionally lacklustre though, so don't get your hopes up. Phase two could just be a couple more exchanges in Dublin.

eircom Introduces Higher Broadband Speeds 

Thursday, 31st January 2008) eircom today announced plans to significantly increase broadband speeds for broadband customers nationwide, 
through a combination of speed upgrades and new products. 
The changes also apply to all wholesale customers, enabling other operators to offer new broadband products to the Irish market. 
Retail broadband customers will continue to pay the same monthly fee and will receive the speed upgrades free of charge, 
while today’s announcement will provide lower wholesale broadband prices. 

eircom will now offer broadband products with download speeds that range from 1Mb up to 12Mb per second. 
The speed upgrades and new products will be introduced on a phased basis over the coming months.

More than 240,000 wholesale and retail customers will now see their broadband download speeds increase. 
These speeds will range from 3Mb per second to up to 12Mb per second. 

Customers currently availing of a 3Mb, 4Mb or a 6Mb product will see significant increases in downloads speeds which will at least double. 
They will be upgraded to 7.6Mb, 10Mb and 12Mb product respectively. Customers currently using a 2Mb product will be upgraded to a 3Mb product. 

The dates for each of the changes are being finalised with rollout to customers between now and June. 

Commenting on the announcement, Rex Comb, CEO, eircom said, "eircom is responding directly to customer needs and levels of broadband usage by introducing increased speeds. 
Customers are maximising the benefits of their broadband connection through the increased use of, 
online applications such as video streaming, online gaming, music downloads and peer to peer applications. 
The introduction of these higher speeds benefits broadband users nationwide and is the next step in the rollout of eircom’s Next Generation Network".

Not necessarily. He's talking about BT's LLU offering which has nothing to do with eircoms upgrade.

Im confused, are BT not just using Eircoms line so they will be able to offer 2mb, 3mb , 8mb packages etc in June when Eircom finish the upgrades.I was talking to a guy on Bt support and he told me I would have 8mb broadband by May/June, I am on 3mb now

BT have been offering 8Mb broadband for a while now on certain exchanges. These exchanges they have had to put their own equipment into. I don't know how eircoms upgrades will affect BTs LLU offering though.

I am in Naas and have not been automatically upgraded. I currently have 3Mb broadband. Got this replay today:

Many thanks for your mail,

***Migration from DSL to LLU***

We will automatically upgrade our existing customers that have BB3 and line rental to LLU (8mg).
We do not have a date that this will take place.
Currently we are testing the migration of customers from DSL to LLU. The testing is in the early stages. The migration will take place in the near future.
