    Hi,
    I asked over a year ago in another thread what Knockraha would be like to live in.
    Well we will be moving come the summer.

    I have a quick couple of questions I'm sure I'll have more.

    As Knockraha is quite elevated can you get saorview with a normal aeriel
    What is imagine LTE like in the area. Or is there alternative what speed do people get with a landline broadband.

    Is the bus reliable enough I know its not very frequent.
    In rush hour traffic in the morning how long would it say take to get to Patrick Street.

    Thanks for everyones help previously looking forward to moving.

    Guessing Mark we could be neighbors so. I rang Eir today as knockraha will be covered by fibre come q4 2018. I want to find out what speed broadband is now. Imagine is a 18 month contract. I'll be working from home so will more than likely have to go with imagine and pay for both for a while

    Hi Psy,
    I would say we will be!-I’m number 23 in the new estate.
    My wife recently met a person at a work event who is living in the estate and works from here with no issues. My wife also works from home so it’s import for us also. I’ll be looking to start the process of getting set up soon

    Sorry I'm not much help with the internet (we're with airwaves- I think its around 10mbps).

    The bus runs Monday- Saturday at the following times: 7.15, 10.00, 14.00, 17.30, 19.00, which isn't so bad. It also runs from Glanmire (around 10 mins drive) every half hour mon-sat, on the hour on a sunday. There's no bus to/from Knockraha on a Sunday. The train station in Glounthaune is roughly 10 mins drive away also.

    If you wanted to be in town for 8 in the morning you'd want to leave at around 7.15. Traffic can get quite bad if you don't leave in good time. When its not busy, 25-30 mins into the city.

    If you've any more queries let me know, resident here for 20 yrs :)

    I saw that older thread too at the time. I too want to piggyback this as I'm also heading there shortly - no 34 (Almost finished, nearly there).

    Can't provide additional detail on the broadband, but am local to the area, so to speak, if you've any other queries. Mass times perhaps? ;)
