Still bugger all from Dublin bar a few speculative PMs , can yiz git locating this weekend, full instructions in page one of this thread on how to easily locate long and lat from the comfort of your browser

thebman

I'm back home (parents) for Christmas now. If you give me a list of Offaly exchanges still unknown, I'll see what I can find out.

I can see Pollagh on the list. I live near enough there that I can probably pop over and find it for ya. Any others around that area in Offaly?

Sponge Bob

Offaly Outstanding .

Nothing like as utterly pathetic as Dublin considering the population though

Number blocks on right .

Can definitely do Mucklagh, maybe Pollagh. Might not be able to find it in Pollagh since its a complete bog and just a weird village. Don't think anything in the place was ever planned, just built where they felt like it. Should be able to do Collins Lane too if I can find it. Must be on the outskirts of town somewhere.

Don't know where Balydaly is but I'll find it on yahoo maps and see where abouts it is. Ferbane isn't that far from Pollagh anyway so it might be doable for me.

Mucklagh is near the old post office according to my father so it should be here:
http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&lat=53.251217&lon=-7.548854&zoom=18&q1=mucklagh%252C%2520offaly%252C%2520ireland

I'll confirm better tomorrow. Have to go to Sligo today so won't be back until 7 this evening. Do you have Rahan exchange? I didn't see it on the list but its my parents local exchange.

Sponge Bob

I have Rahan , and thanks for Mucklagh .

If it is any help I suspect that Collins Lane is referred to sometimes as Collins Road and it may be in or next to the Axis Business Park on the Clara Road .

thebman

Was looking for Collins Lane the other day. No sign of the exchange on the roadside or down the housing estates that have been added to it.

It doesn't appear to be by the roadside. Saw a couple of usually grey or gunmetal grey type cabinets but there were two in one estate at opposite ends so I don't think its the exchange box. It is a massive estate with a new industrial estate nearby so I'm not sure if it is or not.

Other than that, I didn't see any old garage type buildings on the road in the area that was there before the new housing estates were built. Maybe someone from the midlands forum can help a bit better if they are from the area. I can take a picture of the gunmetal boxes I did see if you want, next time I'm in the area. You could probably tell easier than I could if they were exchanges or not.

Was this map ever finished?Cant find it anywhere.

I'm trying to find out where the Watergrasshill exchange is in Cork as I'm moving there in the new year and want to know how far it is from my house.

Sponge Bob

near the roundabout on the village side of the Motorway .

Many thanks Sponge Bob!Maybe you could tell me if I'm within about 500mtrs of it will it be fairly ok?

Sponge Bob

It is an ADSL1 exchange ( max 8mbits or 7.6mbits with eircom) but at 500m you should get the full whack if you choose .

This was on the long finger pending some fragments.

First of all anybody of a DIY bent can download eircom exchange coverage areas here ( google earth) or view them ...I recommend you DOWNLOAD this file

Download > http://www.nextgenerationethernet.com/exchanges.kmz

View > http://maps.google.ie/maps?q=http://www.nextgenerationethernet.com/exchanges.kmz&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=websearch

Should be able to integrate everything into a nice KMZ file and sticky it here.

Naturally the coverage polygon file is incomplete, this is eircom after all. But that can be sorted.

I also need the exchange code ( if applicable) and location and std codes for these exchanges if they exist. By all means tell me they do not exist.


Exchange ( suspected code )


Need locations for the following exchanges. Most are a white or grey boxes on the roadside or in a church car park where a phonebox used to be...etc. There are streetview examples for EMMOO DEEPFORDE and FARMERS CROSS below.

Exchange Name ( suspected) and STD need location and std codes . for these two.

ROUNDWOOD ( laois or wicklow)

Phoenix Park may be Farmleigh , if so say so. Some of these exchanges were called one thing in planning and launched as another.

TIA to everybody who will help.

Sponge Bob

In Response to the PM, this is indeed an exchange and I suspect it is the EMMOO exchange in County roscommon, is that on the wholesale ADSL Exchange list ?? If anyone is driving past there ( 2 miles east of Roscommmon on Lanesboro road) can the confirm whether there is another ( slightly higher) cabinet out there now.

Sponge Bob

PM on Lakepoint Business Park in Mullingar.

Nothing between there and the entrance stands out. It will not be a standalone green box but a White or Grey Box ( or one of each) beside one or more green boxes.

Can you check the structure behind the barrier after Woodies and PM ? Here.

http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,645800,753676,7,10

Could be on the Delvin Road itself.

I'm just going to post here what a DSL-enabled cabinet exchange looks like: It is Deepforde in Drogheda:

Two cabinets beside each other, containing exchange equipment

And going from when I saw The Naul's exchange, the cabinet chassis for these small exchanges (aka RSUs) does seem to vary. Here it is.

Sponge Bob

PM req to clarify what the two boxes do.

Here is Farmers Cross in Cork.

The box on left is a Voice Only Exchange like the one in EMMOO two posts back. It is usually white.

The one on the right is the DSL unit. It is slightly higher and has vents on top. This is a greyer colour, more grey than offwhite.

Old eircom junction boxes are often a silvery grey colour and have no vents on top...... but the ADSL box is around 1.8m high and the older junction boxes are around 1.2m high.

You can have one or both at a location but do tell us if the vents are visible on top so we know whether it is DSL or not.

Sponge Bob

The Naul has not been upgraded yet TBC ( promised since 2007 and that streetview is from 2009)

I reckon there may be a larger box or set of boxes out there nowadays, that yoke is ancient. Could someone photo that location in the Naul today perhaps ??

lucernarian

I know too well unfortunately from contacts in the area that it's not enabled, it was an example of a voice-only RSU that doesn't look like the regular white box with a protruding handle/lock cover in the centre.

The photos would indeed be around May 2009 in that part of the world like much of the google streetview footage, but I've been there and saw it myself in the summer of last year if that's any help? I'll see what I can do for a photo.

Hi,

I hope I'm ok to ask, I've just moved into a house in a place called Garrisker, a couple of miles from Broadford, Co Kildare.
Much to my annoyance, I've been told by all ISPs that line broadband is not available. I'm on the Broadford Exchange & I am wondering if anybody knows if/when this exchange may be upgrdaded?

Any help with this would be really appreciated.

Thanks.
