Metro - Limerick Only

ricey

I just said id make this thread since there are problems in Limerick.
For one im starting to get peed off of waiting and not knowing what
is going on, If Digiweb (Chaz - Crawler) Could give all the lovely
people of Limerick some sort of notion on when this problem might
be solved. Like in fairness its been a good few weeks now since the
orders went in and there has been no contact from Digiweb to let
us know what the story is.

What's the problem with Limerick - high latency? - Download speeds crawling? downtime?

Funny you! Not even a installation...
From the flyer in the letterbox a few weeks ago:
"METRO is here, take a ticket. Available in .... Limerick TODAY!"

funny!

rang digiweb today about Metro in Limerick.

our order is in 21 days now the guy told me but the expected callout is between 2-4 weeks so said we should expect a call within the next week or so.

I told him I had heard so tales of problems with the digiweb mast and he said No, Limerick is fine, installations have been done in Limerick and it's prolly a case of a lot of callouts.

ricey

HA Thats all bull$hit even chaz and crawler have said there are
problems with the high site in Limerick and that no installations
have been done!!!

Inge Binge

rang the hotline and the lady told me that there are still tests going on in limerick with the antenna and that they can't give any specific date when the installation will be carried out.

canelled my order tonight and ordered eircom

Jumpy

Ok guys. Going to need an update on whats happening with Limerick otherwise I think I will sign off as well.
Just did my calculations, it will cost me 5 more a month than having my BT line for the first 6 months. Maybe offer a scrapped installation fee for the people in Limerick because of the 'problems'?

Airblazer

got from an inside source that it will all be resolved within 12-14 days at the ver y very latest..see quote from below

"The Lads are in Limerick all week, to be fair to you I would think it will be 12-14 days. I know this is not what you want to hear, but I feel it best to be honest."

ricey

Its a Ball$ having to wait and getting no information on whats going
on, but fek il wait still got my Digiweb DSL till then.

IrishMike

Anyone know where the mast is going to be and if the range would extend as
far as dromkeen on the tipperary road ?

ricey

as far as i know its on the clarion but it could be changed.

BUMMER!!!!:mad:

Jumpy

Any updates?

watty

The lady on phone said "well before the end of year", "probabily a couple of weeks more"..

Thus they are either waiting for equipment or a site that they don't have access to yet. Install is not that long. I do radio repeater, satellite and Microwave link installs so I have some idea.

Seems we arent welcome to post here anymore. Post deleted.

Get Watty out to hold the crimpers for ye Chaz ?

watty

A lot better than Clarion, which is at sea level.

I get a better view at 6ft high than roof top as the trees are so huge and mature you can get LOS under them at 6ft above ground, but at roof top you are 20ft too low!

having broadband or not having broadband - that's the question. having broadband is the answer.

just to remember the METRO flyer found mid september in the letterbox:

"Metro is here, take a ticket! Available in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford and Dundalk TODAY! Available in your area TODAY!"

Where is it in Limerick? Has the metro train arrived yet? They didn't even build the railtracks!

ricey

Metro should be ready to go by Friday i have been told
it was a problem with the mast on riverpoint and has been
moved to woodcockhill.

Inge Binge

Any idea, how long they will take to install in the homes??

ricey

From Friday but who knows at this stage.

Excuse the language, but you ungrateful bastards. without metro, you either have to go landline or with IBB. ive been with metro coming up on a month now, and the speeds i get on it leave IBB in the dust. the latency is for the most part perfect (i get the odd spike, but theyre working on that, even) and their customer service is second to none. i was with IBB for 9 months and i got more customer service in 1 day than i got with the entire 9 months i was with IBB. Anyways, seriously. these guys are swamped with orders. theyre doing their best. have some patience please. and trust me when i say this.

Good things come to those who wait.

screw the mod that was bitching about the "this thread was for people that had metro".
All of us people in here appreciate all the advice and help that Chaz and Crawler gave us..and as more than likely that we pay for subscriptions to boards then we are therefore customers and can classed as kings.
of course most mods seem to have a superiority complex much like 11 year old kids on BF2 servers..hmmm..maybe they're all BF2 admins as well...

A Excuse you? How about no, if we want to rant on the fact that Digiweb have not started to install our metro in Limerick yet we will. I have been a good Digiweb customer for a long wile now and will always be dont see why i dont have the right to complain about getting no information on what the hold up might be! And another thing TODD if thats your real name, are you in Limerick?

Oh Brilliant.

The other side of the damn city to where I live.

Maybe, you should ring metro and ask if they expect you have reception were u are??? I'm sure the reason metro put the mast there was to serve a larger area of limerick...:)

Yep, its a much better LOS for most of suburban Limerick, but dammit its off towards Clare, I am slap bang on the other side of town. (Annacotty way)
Ah well, win some, lose some.

zuma

Damnit....Im out by Glenside/Annacotty as well and there's little hope of getting Metro now!!!

Just as well I gave up on ever getting Metro a while ago and have my sights firmly fixed on BT!

ricey

Im cool perfect LOS for me in Caherdavin.

kaimera

can I get a reply from one of the digiweb guys as to whether the Castletroy area will be covered?

when i rang the other day the nice woman told me there's a 70-80% chance we won't be able to get metro which will have made the last ****ing 2 months worthless when we could have just gone with eircock.

Hughesy

Ricey, any more inside info as to weither the mast installation went up ok???

ricey

It should be done on wednesday, so i have been told.

easy for you to say when you already have it

ricey

i take it you mean signal for metro when you say LOS
anyway no hospital is about 15mins from limerick city so no metro for me but i know people in limerick city waiting for it

sure im still stuck on isdn waiting for ildana to bring wireless broadband

ricey

Bit of balls aint it, and theres me the bitching with my 3mb wanting 4...lol

Airblazer

well here we go again..I rang metro again this morning and once again installations are on hold in limerick..salesperson wouldn't say what the issue is..this sucks balls..2 months waiting for metro and they still can't roll it out..it can't be a technical issue as it's rolled out in other cities so it must be a location problem. This means that Digiweb didn't bother their asses checking out locations before rolling out their big pr plan on metro..they're starting to sound a lot like IBB and this is defintely starting to put me off

ricey

Man 8kb/s id f00kin hate that no offence its just
i need it to live.

And ya im getting pissed of at this stage myself if i could
get magnet id be gone.

Airblazer

i'm going to give them 2 weeks.if not I'm getting the 2mb up/down from IBB..i know what they're like but one of the mates lives behind me and he has it now for about 8 months with absolutely no probs whatsoever..i have the ripwave but it's ****all good for games..

also saleswoman told me to keep ringing them every 2-3 days..reckon if we all ring up and threaten to switch to magnet or ibb they might get their ass in gear..only thing is there seems to be alot of metro issues in the other cities..

Hughesy

What's the story with Magnet???

2 more weeks and we'll be aweh for a college break.

no ****ing point getting the BB in only for us to be leaving shortly after for 3 weeks.

if we haven't heard anything in two weeks, we're going with €ircock; at least they give us a phone line.
