Eir Fibre Rollout Mapping

Colm R

The recently put down a cable past this location just off the Dublin Trim road near Kiltale.

I noticed yesterday that the old green cabinet has a hole dug next to it, possibly for the placement of a new cabinet.

This is not close enough to my home unfortunately, however the same fibre passes another old cabinet close to my home. So I'm hoping that a precedent will be set for installing cabinets in rural areas where the fibre happens to pass en route anyway.

Eircom guys still cabling in Mayfield, Cork city suburbs, new cabinet across from Mayfield Garda station. Moving down towards Tivoli direction.

Cantona's Collars

AFAIK the 22 cabinets proposed for Enniscorthy are now in situ.There's currently workmen putting in ducting for power at the one opposite Lidl.

It looks like Phases 1 - 4 have seen plenty of activity already. Is anyone aware of work having started on a Phase 5 location yet? Would be interesting to see when work on this phase starts since it's not due for completion until Dec 2014. Am kinda hoping with all the good progress KN Networks have been making so far, that there might be a possibility of work beginning on the phase 5 locations this year.

i think i seen spongebob say that they get a certain amount shipped in every now and then, they might have to be setup in by techs before they get shipped to the locations.

I know that in my area 3 working days after plinth was layed, the cabs were put in.

You were right about 3-4 working days. I've just walked past a fresh new cabinet up at the top of my estate.

Edit: Photos added for todays cabinets that were installed and a new cabinet found.

Skippy along

Just uploaded a new VDSL cabinet location on the map it's at the entrance to cairn woods mallow Co cork

Dave..M

curious; there are no cabinets at all around my estate in Dublin that I can find, I've had a good look and there are lots of old P&T ground covers along the side of the road but no cabinets that I can see. There is a real old gray one in the neighbouring estate which was built before ours (ours was built in the early early 70's) and there is a more modern late 80's early 90's estate on the other side of us and again no cabinets that I can see. Are they just well disguised or is there some underground thing going on instead of cabs or are they just very well disguised?

There was one existing in the entrance to Silvercourt which is right next to the one you added. Is that possibly the same one?

Four more in Cavan. No labels. I wonder if they're alive.

Cyborgs? :P No. They aren't "alive" but they will be up n' running most likely on the 20th. Have you seen any Eircom people blowing the fibre? We've a few cabinets in place but I don't think Eircom will come along until all the sub ducting and the cabinets are all place by KN network.

The sub ducting and fibre is 95% of the time is in place and waiting for the plinth and cab, the biggest problem on the cab site's is getting a power supply to them , which can take a lot of civil's such as road crossing's , opening footpath's and reinstatement's etc.

Hmmm, I didn't see Eircom doing any of the fibre yet. The KN engineer I spoke to said Eircom would be doing the fibre blowing after they had finished the ducting. So do they come along and do stretches of areas?

10belowzero

Yes , KN pull in the sub duct and then Eircom lad's blow the fibre. Depending on if the route is fully ducted and complete , some route's may need civil's if there are blockage's in the u/g duct's. I was talking to lad's one of the day's about 2 week's ago and they were going down to Greystones the following day to blow fibre.

Well the lads who were at the top of my estate said something about our cabinet not being available till late June/(early)July. Would that be right?

dave1982

What type of speed can I expect to get.I've attached roughly where I am on the map.

Thanks

10belowzero

Red , all the phase 4 area's are really well advanced , I'm up in north co Dublin ,the cab's are flying in here too , my finger's are crossed for late June/(early)July as you say.
Even though the completion date is Dec , some phase 5 area's are equally advanced as well,it's really hard to keep track.The initial target was for the Dec deadline to be advanced by 3 month's , this has now been well surpassed by staff , and now look's like coming in an amazing 6 month's ahead of deadline.
In a nutshell , yes late June/(early)July but as all way's we will have to wait and see.

I was out walking today and noticed this planning application in Clontarf, Dublin. I assume its to do with the fibre roll out even though we are not meant to be upgraded until late next year?

Added to more cabs to Ballina

I am 1.1 Km away from nearest cab - does that mean I will not be able to get any improvement over my existing 4Mb Dsl?

I seen some articles quoting distance of up to 5Km with VDSL2 in the Uk, but Eircom seems to suggest 1Km is the limit...?

I think you could get the service but it would be like getting similar to ADSL.

Well theoretically you should get about 15Mb/s at that distance but other factors come into play like the quality of the line etc...
