Line Upgrades

fionny

Hey All,

Im just wondering is there any way to try and talk eircom networks etc... to improve the lines in an area..

My house is fibre enabled but I only actually get a max of 30meg... I'm wondering if there is a tactic to use to get them to upgrade the lines so I can get a better connection?

Thanks,
Fionn

How close are you to a fibre enabled street cab?
Keep in mind, distance as the cable is run from that cab will decrease the speed obtainable on a line.

Will have to take a look. There is none marked on that map from my town yet though fibre is deffo there.

Maybe Eir(com)s official map might be more useful;

There is no upgrading the lines. You're getting the most a copper line can take at that range.

The next step is FTTH, thats coming to 66+ towns. Google is only throwing up the 50 town list at the moment (thanks eir rebrand):

Arklow, Letterkenny, Athlone, Limerick City, Balbriggan, Little Island, Ballina, Longford, Ballincollig, Mallow, Bray, Maynooth/Kilcock, Carlow, Midleton, Carrick-on-Shannon, Monaghan, Carrigaline, Mullingar, Castlebar, Naas/Johnstown/Sallins, Cavan, Navan, Celbridge, Newbridge, Clonmel, Portlaoise, Cobh, Roscommon, Cork City, Shannon, Drogheda, Skerries / Rush, Dundalk, Sligo, Ennis, Swords /Malahide/Portmarnock, Enniscorthy, Tralee, Galway City, Tramore, Gorey, Tullamore, Greystones, Waterford City, Kilkenny, Westport, Killarney, Wexford, Leixlip, Wicklow.

They'll have it by 2020. Rest will get it by 2025 at a guess.
