If they installed FTTH in places that had crap BB instead of places like Douglas that already have 240meg with UPC then the uptake would be slightly larger

Maybe just maybe they might cop on to that and roll out where it is actually needed and people are mad to get decent broadband. Would be brave and counterintuitive but would probably be extremely successful0 -

That saying, dragging miles and miles of fibre for a couple of house or pulling a few hundred meters and service 40 50 houses and already have 80% of the infrastructure in place. Cost benefit will win out everyday6.1kWp south facing, South of Cork City

Commercial considerations will influence what and when.
We just have to have some (more) patience 0 -

this is why I dont get why they are starting to roll out to areas that are already up to their necks in choice of fast fibre from Eir, UPC etc. Those areas will see only very small uptake of FTTH for now as most customers are happy with what they have and don't wish to spent extra on getting FTTH when they are already perfectly happy with UPC/FTTC from Eircom.
The blue lines are full of people who are just begging for decent broadband, they should really start those soon rather than waiting another 2 years. The blue lines will be very successful for Eir once they start rolling it out.
Just a few posts backWhy would they do it now when the government will pay for it in just over a year
They're taking the easy stuff now before the ESB gets it, its a race to get the most profitable areas. Then the NBP money will provide for the sticks where they make a loss(the cities are already subsidising your broadband even if its sh1tty).0 -
I think your grand there for awhile with your 40mb broadband the blue are mainly for people out in stick stuck on adsl broadband ,fixed wireless because people in FTTC areas kinda have fibre. I think eir did blue line through FTTC areas because they use the exchange as backbone for the FTTH to the rural homes.markmurphy wrote: »
ping 8ms! Can FTTH do better?
I see its 17 euro more a month...for 1 GIG ! ya be mad not to get it!
Can't see the pings getting much better though.
Have to put up with my crap connection till then! lol!

I say more than likely you will get FTTH because siro in phase 2 targeting 320 towns and villages and eir more than likely will try match them it just probably won't start till 2018.
Then NBP start mainly in early 2017 and if eir and siro win good bit of that could slow down any plans for FTTC areas to upgrade to FTTH.0 -

Ah now, some of you lads don't know how good yous have it!!
I have never noticed that before but speed test say you are slower than 77%, normally they would say you are "faster" than 23% of the population. Is it rubbing salt the wound, bastards...:(.6.1kWp south facing, South of Cork City
