WSEA Reach Node - Cong Ex

    My local exchange (Cong) is listed on the Eircom Wholesale site as being a WSEA Reach Node (and has been for a good while). From my understanding this means it has fibre to the back of the exchange, but what does that mean for the consumer?

    AFAIK the Cong exchange runs bog standard ADSL and is not planned to be NGB enabled. So what's the point of the fibre to exchange then, as it appears that no consumer is benefiting from this fibre? Is it business only or does every Ex with ADSL have to be on the fibre network?

    Also I had a Vodafone 'rep' knock on the door last night and tell me that the Cong exchange has been upgraded, but not to NGB.... He thought I was an Eircom customer due to my DSL router - big brother must check on the network :eek:. I'm not with Eircom and once he realised I was already with Vodafone, he promptly left. He certainly seemed to have a lot of detail about everyone and my neighbours (with Eircom) also where surprised about how much he knew. I did ask him what the upgrade was and he indicated that the reach of the exchange had been increased, so my line speed should increase. But looking at the DSL stats I'm still on 6144k/384k, so was it all BS from him?

    Unfortunately I am moving to a similar area soon and would love to get this info. The exchange is listed as a APT Reach node but it is not listed if you tick the broadband box?!?!

    The Following Exchanges Listed Below Do Not Have Broadband.

    There is no plan to enable them for Broadband even though some 15 of them were promised Broadband in 2007. Anything that shows up at your door and says otherwise is LYING.

    NGB rollouts have stopped in the main. The broadbandatoz.ie and ngb.ie sites were BOTH taken down by eircom as they were embarassing even to eircom while they are looking for state and EU money from Rabbitte for broadband enablement and fibre rollout....anything they can get really.

    A Reach Node has perhaps an STM1 with a path to an STM4 upgrade ( 155-600mbits total backhaul where some exchanges WITH DSL have only 16mbits for everyone...I am not joking :( )
