Interesting new video on the eircom Wholesale website. They seem to be cracking on with FTTH ahead of the August launch which is great to see.

Yes, a very interesting video. Looks like Eircom really is going to do FTTH

Spoke with a local tech in Letterkenny who confirms that KNN are busy with the fibre subducting in most of the newer estates in Letterkenny, like Glentain Manor, which seems to be fed from LKY1_029. The estates with eircom ducting in place will obviously be done first with fibre being run to pre-ordained drop points from the nearest cab. My cab is LKY1_005. We have no eircom subducting to our estate or any of the estates around us, as far as I can tell. My POTS drop point is fed, via the main eircom duct, to a pole some 10 meters from the house, so I expect in the not too distant future to be fed fibre aerially from a new fibre drop point on that pole. Eircom have the "drop" on the ESB in my case and I'm sure a lot of others. Did they do their homework at all.Direct link to the video:

"From a phasing point of view we're going to be building this across the next 3 or 4 years, up to 66 towns across the country ..." 2:28 mins
That puts the roll-out time into perspective it seems.
Those 66 tows should be done by 2019 ... so where does that put those outside those immediate areas on the time-scale?
It would seem that the Govt's promise to have everyone fibred by end of 2020 is just another pipe-dream.

This is not the Nbp, that will start later this year with a completion date of 2020, Ireland could well be amongst the worlds most developed broadband economies when this is all done0 -
Someone always seems to be able to turn a positive story negative. FTTH in Letterkenny! I didn't think I'd see these sort of places getting this connectivity in my lifetime.Johnboy1951 wrote: »"From a phasing point of view we're going to be building this across the next 3 or 4 years, up to 66 towns across the country ..." 2:28 mins

4/5 years ago FTTC was 'just another pipe dream' but yet here we are....0 -
