    Hi Folks , 

    Hoping someone can help me out here , 

    Ive being checking away most days since our New Fibre Cab was installed to see if we were live yet ,

    Anyway there on Tuesday I typed in my address without the house number by mistake and noticed there was a load of houses in the estate enabled 

    Was showing 1 of 59 when I put in Kilbelin Abbey , there is 68 houses in the estate I think,

    Anyway I went through the check from one to 68 and every house is available bar 50-59,

    There is only one cabinet in the estate as its a new estate (5-6 years old), but I just text the builder there now to make sure

    Is this just a mistake as there is house further away from the cabinet than mine and they seem to be enabled ?

    If it is just a mistake then how do we go about getting it sorted , and if there is an issue , again how do we go about getting it sorted ?

    Thanks for your time !

    Hi pistolpetes11

    I got your PM and I checked the estate. Our systems show that up to 49 is showing as connected updated on the system.

    I was unable to get any indication as to when the situation may change and if or when the service will be available at the address.

    Hi Peter,

    We have had a number of similar queries from customers. Which we have sent to the efibre networks department

    In some cases where one address out of 20 is not qualifying for the efibre service.

    The response we get and have to advise customers is:

    "the efibre service is not guaranteed to any address, there are network, cabling and distance issues that can affect availability. There can individual factors for each address and the networks team investigated and stated the service is not available at the address".

    Operations have informed me that it's not possible to check every customers request to the specific reasons as to why the service is not available.

    I really do understand how vague the response is however all we can say is that although we have no news indication as to if or when the efibre service may be available regarding your address and those few in the estate as yet. Work is continually ongoing if you want to check back with us for an update in a few months.

    Thanks, Mark

    I'm afraid we have no updates on this.

    We have no roll out plans or lead times on when address are being upgraded to eFibre unfortunately.
    Your exchange has been enabled however your address is not enabled as of yet. Eircom will contact you when it's available to order in your area.

    Sorry for all inconvenience caused.

    Thanks

    Hi Pete,

    I am only a few doors up from you and I have contacted eircom numerous times about efibre and they have whitewashed me with the same line"not guaranteed".  I've asked for the engineers report as to why I cannot get access despite over 90% of the houses in the estate with access. They denied my requests and have been awful to deal with. I've stayed loyal to eircom over the last few years (despite better deals from rivals) all in the promise that efibre was coming . Now they are simply ignoring the problem and offering no solutions!

    Hi Eric , 

    Alan was in touch via PM and he has been onto operations about the issue and is trying to get a resolution , Im on a crappy 1MB now with the brilliant WiMax , makes working from home a nightmare , sometime I would be quicker driving to where ever I need to send a file and dropping it in .

    Alan Knows and understands I am in desperate need of the service , Ive put it to the them I would at this stage be willing to pay for a 3rd party to provide me a report as to what the problem is and how I ( Now we ) can go about resolving the issue.

    Keep an eye in here as Il be reporting back when he does get back to me , I expect to hear something on Monday morning .

    Hi Pete,

    Good stuff. I had been wanting to post a message for a while as I had been following your progress over the last while with eircom. I just couldn't believe that they would not explain why and how all houses could not be connected considering it is a new estate and the distance from the exchange. To make matters worse was the fact that they were hiding behind the "not guaranteed" line. I just hope they can supply us with more detail and or get an engineer back out to the exchange to fix it.

    Sometimes the address checker and the line checker can be out of sequence. Did you check if your telephone number qualifies for efibre?

    Many thanks for your nice feedback :)

    I could not agree more that and it makes perfect sense to 'kill two birds with one stone' however unfortunately the efibre team have advised me that a work schedule is already drawn up for erics installation engineer and it cannot be ammended.


    Did you receive any notice of an installation date yet Pete? You should have by now...

    Did you receive any notice of an installation date yet Pete? You should have by now...

    Al
    Hi Al, 

    No word even though I ordered mine 3 business days before Eric ? 

    Surely the eFibre team could look on this case on merit that its been ongoing for 5 months ? 

    Thanks again for your time ,

    Peter
    Yes that's odd pete,

    Can you PM me your efibre order number? I'll look in to it.

    Hi Alan , 

    I ordered online last Wednesday but as of yet the order has not been processed on your system , 

    Can you look into this for me please ? 

    Hi Pete,

    I ordered mine up on Monday and an engineer will be out to us on Tuesday !
    Just to let you know .

    Regards
    Hi Alan , 

    Would it make sense for this engineer to kill 2 birds with one stone here ? 

    Either that or you get a very strong wireless router I can tap into Eric , lol

    At least something good has come out of this thread , Alan took ownership of the issue and its be solved for the most part with you getting yours next week , and hopefully me too

    Thanks

    Hi pistolpetes11


    Ordering online usually has a longer lead time (average up to 20 days as opposed to 10 working days when ordering from sales over a call) It's best not to cancel as this would create even more delays)

    Leave it with me and I'll request an update from online opps and ask to have it escalated for you, I should be back to you later today

    Hi Alan , 

    This is getting beyond a JOKE at this stage , 

    Got a phone call on Tuesday from your office to say it will be installed on Wednesday , 

    Great , Take Wednesday off Work , lads come and install the new wall plate , test it , tell me the line is perfect but they don't have a modem for me .

    Tell me to call up and request one , which I do , I am informed it will be with me tomorrow (Today ) 

    Take more time off work to get the delivery which arrives first thing , great .

    Proceed to set it up but there is no DSL Light , ring the number for Broadband Tech support which came with the router only to be told they don't know how to deal with eFibre routers and will have to transfer me , 25 mins on hold on top of the 15 to the guy who didn't know what to do !

    Get through and find out I have been given another new landline number(my 3rd at this stage) and that the delivery date for my eFibre service is 04/03/14 , told that my eFibre is not yet turned on , "call back later" in 24 or 48 hours .

    At this stage my blood is boiling and I have to hang up , the ineptitude is beyond belief , can YOU please turn on my broadband , my original order date was the 12/02 and this is after 5 months of trying to get the service whilst others in my estate could , to phantom orders online , to orders over the phone but with no install appointments , to getting it installed with out a modem / router to today getting a router but the line installed yesterday does not work .

    I hope you can understand my absolute disbelief and anger and I trust you will have this sorted in the next few hours.

    Well the drama continues , 

    Rang back after 24 and 48 hours and still no eFibre, 

    Ive now been told you not due to be installed to the 4th of March and you eFibre wont be turned on till then , 

    Rite , I have a straight answer now and can wait till Tuesday ,

    20 mins after I get off the phone I get a text message with my installation appointment for the for the Tuesday .

    I ring the number provided to explain the situation , the rep on the phone says he better put me through to to " technical " 25 mins on hold and get through to a pretty decent bloke who is in utter shock at the shambles of an experience I have had so far .

    He says we better not cancel the appointment incase there is another mess up , let the lads come explain the situation when they get here .

    Grand Il take another day off work and get this sorted once and for all.

    This morning I get a call from KN Networks installations team ( ON A SUNDAY ! I know) but I missed the call but not sure what they wanted , Im hopping its not another mess up !

    Man, you are very patient!!!!!!!!!!

    I was thinking of ordering efibre/evision, but NO WAY Jose! 

    I would have had a heart attack looooooong before you got your problem fixed.

    And I am an eircom customer since they started!!! 
    (still with regular BB, but you made up my mind for me to go with UPC)


    Thank you for sharing your experience.

    My hat off to you for sticking so patiently with trying to resolve your problem.
