    Most road works around the town have been to do the water pipes now that Irish water are trying to out the world to right... :/ . I'd be nice if eircom have taken the time invest in new line laying while the roads are up but I'd doubt there that smart

    that's what i was thinking, hopefully they will shove the fiber pipes down at the same time... but probably not!

    FTTH is already in Ennis. Extremely limited roll-out though. Seems to be only estates that where build since 2000ish.

    yeah i know...

    i keep checking and i get this

    Unfortunately eir Fibre Extreme is not currently available in your area; we are constantly working on improving our network and expanding our 1000Mb reach.

    hence why i was wondering if they were digging up the roads here so i can get the FTTH !

    That's the problem. They aren't digging anything up to install fibre.

    Newer housing estates have a duct underground that the current telephone line runs through, they are blowing the fibre through those ducts.

    Any older housing estates that don't have those ducts are not going to be getting FTTH from Eir(com) it appears. At least not in the foreseeable future.

    So, if you're in a housing estate older than perhaps 1995ish then you can forget it for at least 2-3 years would be my guess.
