What Speed should I expect to get on Fibre Broadband

Andy From Sligo

Hello - our cabinet in our Village is expected to get Fibre Broadband in early 2018.

- Our house is between 1.5km to 2km from the cabinet.

say that at the cabinet it will be 90mbps download speed , what roughly speed should we expect.

It will be coming from the cabinet over the existing PSTN copper wires over the existing wooden telephone poles and then into our house.

I know it could be difficult to say because factors will have to be taken into account such as how old the copper cable is and what the connections are like on the poles and have the wires been affected by weather etc ... but a rough idea has anyone got please?

Its max range is 1.7km, it won't be any faster or you wont be able to order at all. *

With those conditions either new tech Huawei are testing will be releases to give you 20-30Mb or you'll get FTTH between 2018 and 2022.

*assumes cab is the central one/only serving the village.
