    I haven't seen a VDSL cabinet anywhere in the Killincarraig area. There is a cabinet that provides basic broadband at the roundabout but no adjoining VDSL cabinet (as of yet...it's on the plans). Are you near there or Delgany Glen? The next nearest VDSL is either Delgany Hills or Kindlestown Park (across from Donnybrook Fair).


    My nearest cabinets are either the one near the tennis club / eire óg or the one in Delgany Hills (thats what its called on the map)

    We're about 250m from the nearest cabinet and have indeed been switched from Greystones to the Newtownmountkennedy exchange according to the map on the other thread.

    Not as high a I expected but so much better than the near dial-up speed we had before!

    It needs to settle. The DSLAM needs to work on it. The equipment will automate your speed till it decides what is best for you. :P

    I checked my phone number on Eircoms line checker and it says "Fibre is coming to your area: Oct-13" Should it update on vodafones line chcker tomorrow? When should I ring vodafone to get it installed? Do i have to wait for them to say its available?

    Oct-13 meaning October 2013.

    Don't let that put you off, the line checker for me said it wasn't available. Ring Vodafone, at least you'll know for sure one way or the other.

    I am in charlesland. Just put number in the checker on eircom site and it says congratulations you can get our fastest speed.

    Did they put us live?

    Well they put the whole area live on the Eircom map and there already seems to be many addresses in their database on some cabinets. For example, in our estate, Rathdown Park has live #10, 165,166 etc. It is quite random. They don't have everyone on the cabinet and probably not for a few weeks or even longer.

    Friend of Mine who is a Eircom Engineer has found out for me that Kilcoole (Seaview/Lottlane Cab) is going live 6th November which makes sense since Sales are Telling me to Order from the 10th onwards Just have to wait now!

    Is the Greystones area quoted for the same date or later? :)

    I have no Idea Since Kilcoole is on the Edge of the Exchange they may be working from Greystones outwards? at Least its a Definite Date now fingers Crossed! 1.5mb Is Stonage!

    If it was going live on the 6th, why order on the 10th? Why not order on the 6th? :D

    But those dates look about right if nickhx got November 13th.

    It is quite unfortunate that you have that figure. Ask your mate does he know anything about Priestnewtown. Is there an exchange there or will they be building another one?

    I wouldn't be surprised if he was already on here but they probably can't discuss such matters or they'd get fired. There was an engineer who was on the main Eircom Fibre Rollout forum who disappeared during the summer and he was coming out with some details that were quite useful but then some may have changed due to Eircom always change dates but it wasn't always their fault.

    The Joys of Living in Kilcoole on the Edge of Two Exchanges!
    *She pulled a Favour so hopefully that date is correct!
    I Know there is a Exchange in Priestnewtown beside Killpedar Cemetary but it is not Commisioned for ADSL let alone VDSL it acts as a Mini exchange.

    Yeah, I remember somebody mentioned it to me. I was told that at a later stage they might upgrade this to enable it for VDSL hardware.

    I just hope that they get the rural folk sorted with units pole-mounted so they can reach people in the back of nowhere. :)

    Seems that he Court and Wood are on their list of addresses now, no sign of the Grove and Park yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,728 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    No VDSL cabs yet in the Grove or Park - you'll be waiting unfortunately until they're put in.

    How do you find out which exchange you're on?, I rang eircom this morning (always thought I was on the Greystones exchange) and they told me that my line and address was on the Blessington Exchange! I live off the lott lane in Kilcoole, near bayview., when I expressed my astonishment!, they told me not to worry, my line will go live on Nov. 6th, and it doesn't matter how far the exchange is, only how far the cabinet is!!!...crazy stuff!

    Is Lott Lane the road down towards Glenroe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,728 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    You might be on the Seaview/Lott Lane cab. There are other cabs on the Main street and Sea Road (at Beechdale). It's the Newtown exchange and by the looks of what others here are saying is that it should live very shortly. It's a shame Bayview is a little bit away from the Seaview cab as the potential speed will drop off somewhat.
