    Hi all,
    I may be able to come over from England the odd week and keep an eye on my dad (he's 90). But I'll need to order the broadband and ensure it works for my job.
    Do you know long they take to install it. Just need to get the timing right.
    Many thanks

    Mine was installed within 3 working days of ordering!

    Mentioned I was working from home and needed it asap so not sure if that sped up the process

    It really depends on where he lives, what the infrastructure around there is like, if there are free "spaces" in the local cabinet, etc.

    If everything falls into place, it can be a few days. If there's any glitch, it can take months of frustration. Personally I'd avoid eir, as their customer service is difficult to deal with.

    Take a look at https://www.bonkers.ie/compare-tv-broadband-phone/ and enter your father's eircode to see what companies are supplying to his area.

    Is there anyone local who can arrange to be there to meet the engineer and test out the installation for you?

    The appear to be delayed at the moment. I ordered on 30th of June and it's being installed today. It's installed by KN networks not EIR, they'll contact you in advance and you can reschedule if you need to. I'd recommend ordering and timing the installation for when you're here.

    Thanks all. My dad lives in Tralee so maybe it could take a little longer there.
