New Ross - Irishtown - Broadband

    Recently moved to New Ross town in the Irishtown area.
    I was already with Vodafone so moved the broadband down with us but had to agree to a new contract.

    Anyway we have fiber but the last few meters from junction box to house is DSL line.
    Which is a pity because apparently the junction box is only about 4 or 5 meters from our door!

    Internet is flapping, it's up for a few days or minutes, then down again.
    Sometimes down for a few hours.
    Mostly the service is up but the moments when it's down it's hugely disruptive trying to work from home using a VOIP phone that gets cut off mid sentence.

    Am only in the house a few weeks and have logged several tickets with Vodafone.
    They keep changing a setting on our router and basically closing the case.
    Repeat.

    I keep trying to get them to send a ticket to EIR, apparently they do the actual wiring as this seems like a dodgy wiring issue but for some reason they won't do it.

    Any idea when this street will get fiber to door?

    Lovely place with pretty much every amenity to hand.
    Maybe except for a good cheap clothes shop as the big Tesco doesn't have any.

    I did get internet sorted.
    Took several tickets with Vodafone before they finally sent a Eir technician out.
    Tested the line starting from inside the house.
    Found faults on the line outside and ran a brand new line.
