Efibre estimates?

    The efibre map is telling us that we have Efibre, since June. I've rang up and been told that there wasn't even an estimate on when it will be in place. 

    On the Fibre Broadband Network Coverage Map these three cabinets :
    BHR1_E01
    BHR1_004
    BHR1_002

    are showing that work is in-progress and nearly complete.

    A lady in the town was in-contact with an engineer and he told her that the eFibre should be up TODAY!

    What is going on with all these different dates? Could I please get a precise estimate of when the works will be complete because the service being provided to us at the minute is laughable.

    Hi Glebee


    There is no agreed specific launch date for the above reference cabinets although our networks team do believe that it may be within the next 6 weeks.

    Apologies for the confusion created by the delays
    Thanks

    I see the overall Eircom efibre up grade map has been updated but the live date has not been pushed out till Jan - March 2016.
    Extremely disapointing given the very poor broadband in the area. Up to 5mb download my eye. Was getting 0.2mb all weekend.

    I'm genuinely sorry to hear of this Glebee

    I wish I could offer better news. If you would like to PM me your land line number I'll check for possible issues which might be creating the reported slow speeds?

    Thanks
    Al

    Thanks for the PM GleBee


    There are no faults on the line and to be honest there is nothing that would require the attention of the technical support department. The issues you are seeing are due to congestion and until Fibre goes live this will be expected to continue.

    I have noticed one thing though - your subscription allows for a max of 8Mb - your line is now qualifying for up to 15Mb and there is an upgrade available to this for the same price as what you are currently paying. The up to 15Mb package is sold as up to 24Mb (which is what lines closer to the exchange can get) but please bear in mind that of the term 'up to' which is advised due to the congestion.

    While I can't guarantee the congestion the upgraded speeds will be any better the speeds will be certainly faster during off peak hours.

    If you're interested in exploring the upgrade please feel free to contact the sales team on free phone 1800503303

    Thanks
    Al
