Fibre Broadband issues

    Eir sent a tech to wire our new house for Fibre Broadband but found our house is too far from the exchange for the Fibre to work, and the tech said we should get an ADSL connection. But now another tech has said the ADSL isn't much better, it will only get us speeds of 2 to 4MB at best.

    What are our options for getting a higher speed?

    Will these low speeds be an issue with any provider, not just with Eir, because its an infrastructure problem of the cabinet being so far from the house?

    What alternatives exist?

    Put your Eircode into airwire.ie to see what you can get. They have the best database I find.

    The database is the same everywhere. Airwire are just honest in how they present it. *


    * There are cases where they do clever guessing but the above is mostly true.
