How can we, as a housing estate of 24 in a rural village, get fibre ?

n1st

We want fibre, real fibre, 100mbps.
What is the best procedure in order to ensure we get it in the next month?


We are an estate of 24 houses.
In a village, the village itself have fibre.
Varying internet providers.
Some have e-fibre @ 15Mbps.

The rumors are that fibre is coming to our cabinet but then splits to cable to our homes, reducing the speed to 15Mbps and further reducing when multiple users at one time. Also houses on the main road are reported to have full fibre speeds.

Sounds like you're talking about VDSL which isnt really fibre at all. Real fibre products are all 150Mb or faster.

Real fibre is FTTH, fibre direct to the home, up to 1000Mbps. No distance limitations.

100 Mbps is VDSL/FTTC, fibre to the cabinet/exchange, copper from the cabinet to the home. Distance dependant, limited to 2kms. Faster speeds closer to the cabinet/exchange

Thnkyou but it still does not answer my question.

How can we as an estate get fibre?
Is there a mechanism for groups of homes to request broadband services quicker than usual?

That technology is based on historical cabling. Either you're planned for this phase (almost over) or the next (FTTH to 300k) or are left for the NBP.

What you say/want is irrelevant unless you're willing to invest about €1k per property to setup your own local scheme.

Some in the estate? Then you're likely not looking at anything anytime soon.

You can pay a private contractor to dig and install ducting to each home and then get another company to let you attach that fibre to a facility which connects on to the internet, which could be many miles away.

The cost could be massive to spread over 24 homes, depending in the distance but even if relatively short of a distance my experience is people want super fast broadband really badly until they understand how much it costs to install it.

You could of course install it yourself lile b4rn in the UK, or wait for the NBP to service you.

Find out how much each home is willing to pay upfront for a good connection, if it's less than say (I'm pulling this figure out if the air as I have no idea of where you are) €5k each give up on the idea.
