EFibre Newport, Co Tipperary

ki

Why is Newport, Co. Tipperary showing up as enable for eFibre, and I can't find anyone who can avail of it? 

I tried my telephone number and the telephone numbers of a number of businesses in the town yet the response from the line checker is showing up as not available in the area?

It has being this way for a number of months now.

Can you explain why we can't avail of eFibre?

Thanks

Hi ki

[font=Calibri","sans-serif]The availability of efibre is based on the rollout of fibre cabinets serving specific locations within a greater area like Newport, unlike regular broadband where is available upon an enabled exchange. [/font]

The following map will offer you a much better insight in to plans based on the deployment of such cabinets: http://www.eircomwholesale.ie/Our_Network/

I'm within 1 km of a live cabinet, how do I find out what cabinet my house is  connected to?

Hi Ki

I'm in Newport with eFibre  but your not the only one there with the connection issue. There is a lot of over lapping cabinets.
Friend lives same distance as me from the same cabinet (opposite direction) , Fibre not enabled for him as it turns out his house connects else where

Hi Joeface

I agree it is frustrating when one Customer can get efibre but another cannot. The process of rolling out efibre is ongoing but it is not guaranteed to be available to all Customers within a 'green shaded area' on the map for instance. I do understand your point about cabinets- It is the case that not all Customers would be connected to the closest geographical cabinet to them.

Hi Eir, 

Its 3 years on from originally asking, and while many parts of our village/small town have fiber broadband. I am still stuck on a 10MB line - that has some serious contention issues. 

I asked via the Eir chat about availability and have being told that is not currently available. - but there are technicians in the area working on "that". 
When I asked about what "that" means he pushed me to sales. 

Sales tells me it not at my location and that they can't give time lines, and no further information. 

My question to you is, how do I find out if my house is in Eir's current plans to connect to Fiber or is my location in the 300,000 locations added to Eir's plans yesterday or do I have to wait for the National Broad Plan? 


Thanks in advance 
ki.
