ADSL trials for 9 dublin exchanges

LegacyUser

The 9 dublin exchanges (or 10 it would appear) that Eircom are going to be carrying out ADSL trials on are

Sandyford
Dundrum
Ballyboden
Rathmines
Tallaght
Walkinstown
Terenure
Priory Park
Crown Alley
Sandyford RSU

So if you are in any of those areas it would be definitely worth your while checking out www.adsl.ie and getting Eircom to check your line, to see if you can take part in the trials.

I unfortunately am not in any of those areas

is this the commercial trials their ment to start in a week or so, or is this the internal trials that have been going on for years, if its commercial, yeaaa we might have adsl sometime soon, if no its nothing new

Why in Gods name are they rolling out dsl trials in tallaght? Afaik people there already have broadband courtesy of NTL. They shuold concentrate on the North of Dublin and the rest of the country like Galway and Cork for instance. You would think they have apes running Eircom. My jaysus

Because the exchanges already have DSLAM's in 'em probably.

It is a bit annoying that there is adsl trials in tallaght seeing that tallaght already has broadband !!??!!

I thought that was interesting too, especially since NTL complained about the takeup of broadband in Tallaght. I think that the only people suprised by this waw the marketing department. Any PC user could of told them it would flop there. If they tried it along the dart line they would have been complaining about the higher than expected uptake imho.

strainge you say that, i was just thinking the other day that the dart line goes through the area i would expect the highest broadband turn out
