My property on the NBI site has been updated to "Network build in progress" and the date has moved from Jan 2021 - March 2021 to February 2021 - April 2021.

I’m in Cloverhill, Co.Cavan.

Strange that you're later than me considering work has already started in Cloverhill while I don't see anything outside of Oranmore yet

Wing126 · 06-10-2020 1:32pm

Has anybody in Meath/Louth gotten any updates? Or even seen a survey van lately?

Thought that too but I'm still pretty happy with those dates. Hoping it won't get pushed back again.

Yabba Dabba Doo......

Surveying Underway
Your premises is in the Intervention Area and surveying is underway in the locality. High speed fibre broadband is anticipated to be available in your area within the date range below.*

Date:
September 2021 - November 2021

Area: West Wicklow.

EDIT: I'm registered for updates but didn't get one.

To get the above news I checked my eircode on https://nbi.ie/ (for the 123rd time!!)

joe123 · 06-10-2020 2:04pm

So at a quick glance it looks like from point of Surveying to Rollout is ~ 1 year.

Say a prayer for those of us in counties who have been surveyed....and our town area not included yet.

As always....would be real nice if they would give an estimated surveying timeframe. Real nice.

Not a stitch. I contacted the government broadband team (can't recall official name) and was told there was no update and to use a mobile connection for now (we can't even get line of sight wisps like Imagine).

I'm South KK, close to Waterford. NBI website now says Survey Underway with an estimated availability of December 2021 - February 2022. Eeeeek!!

Not sure if any of these mentioned are actual "townlands" in Kilkenny, they seem to be an assortment of labels scraped off Google Maps.

Johnstown
Gathabawn
Galmoy
Eirke
Tyroe
Skeaghvasteen
Pollough
Goresbridge

Five of them are in north kilkenny not sure as to the others. Johnstown, Galmoy and Gathabawn are all villages.

If they've only announced surveying in Kilkenny how have they already updated the map?

I always thought that came later on. How long has KK shown rollout dates I wonder?

Gary kk · 07-10-2020 6:13am

I must of have missed an earlier announcement were have they roll out dates for?

I checked it last week and it was saying Survey Pending, it has updated very recently.

Couple of the guys in this thread posted December 2021 - February 2022 ETA.

Think that's the latest timeframe so far.

Redriddick · 07-10-2020 11:23am

Just checked mine there, available AugustAugust-October 2021.
Just outside roscommon town

go to the NBI website and input your eircode and it will give you an estimated time frame for you

Dero · 07-10-2020 12:23pm

No change here. Still Premises Pending Survey with no estimated dates or timeline. Near Curragh Camp in Co. Kildare.

naughto · 07-10-2020 12:30pm

How accurate are they with the dates mine down for Oct-Aug 2021

Gary kk · 07-10-2020 12:37pm

Pending....

Ill let you know around Dec '20 to Feb '21

joe123 · 07-10-2020 1:14pm

NBI advisor said they hope to have all surveying complete by early 2021.

Seems a stretch but here's hoping.

Also for anyone in the initial Galway rollout, I checked the area surveyed 10 mins away from me corrandulla area Galway, they have a date of Jan 21 - March 21

It seems like the first batch of Broadband Connection Points have been connected, 51 in total spread across the country.

The local community centre beside my parents is hooked up! I'll try to get down there soon to see if there is anything to see other that a wifi signal from the car park!

How are they getting communications to these rural connection points since there is no fibre laid, wireless similar to Imagine?
