Then there are the Winter 2016 dates followed by Winter/Spring 207 and so on. There are no autumn 2016 dates listed anywhere. October and November are still Autumn, perhaps some Winter 2016 dates could happen in October or November, worth keeping an eye on, the Openeir map is updated every 2 weeks and the next update should happen by Friday 16th September.

It would clarify things if one could go to a list and see such as Sept 28th 2016 ...... list of areas due to go live Winter 2016 ..... list Winter/Spring 16/17 ...... list 1st half 2017 ....... list 2nd Half 2017 ..... list and have that updated on an ongoing basis as time passes. It would involve much work, but be very useful IMO.

Allison Puny Appetite wrote: » Does anybody have any information or speculation on the design of the network? I am particularly interested in the location of the splitters. I was wondering if they will use a multi level split as in the diagram. The second level splitters in this scenario would most likely be pole mounted. I suppose they could be connectorised but if they had to be spliced it would add delay to the rollout. Any theories?

Gonzo wrote: » could be same as FTTC rollout, it only needed 40% of the project activated per exchange for the area to be declared as 'live'. Also many exchanges had not just 1 slippage, but many slippage dates. I think Dunshaughlin's FTTC live slipped by about 6-8 months. Still at the end of the day they got most of the FTTC rollout completed during 2016. With my area now down as Winter 2016, that means anything from December 2016 to end of February 2017, doubt i'll have it by christmas now.

Gonzo wrote: » the exchange in Wexford which is going live on Sept 28th is a very indication of how the rollout will go. Only a tiny part of that exchange area is live, just 200 or 300 meters up the road there is another similar estate blue lined and it's not live, meaning that they don't upgrade an entire exchange of blue lines in one go before going live. One thing I noticed in my exchange is that the road between my house and the cabinet has had the preparation work carried out, but I haven't seen this preparation work going on in any of the other blue lines radiating out from Dunshaughlin. My road could be wired up first and then the others follow similar to the place in Wexford? Back when work started 1st April, I was really excited and thought the whole place would be wired during the summer. As August progressed with no signs of anyone, I became increasingly concerned that Autumn 2016 was not gonna happen and no chance in hell of the first 100,000 premises completed by March 2017. Yesterday 1st September still no sign of any work at my exchange or many of the other exchanges that are also penciled in first. Looks like I'm now down for Winter 2016, even that date im not fully confident, it could easily slip into Spring 2016.

Allison Puny Appetite wrote: » Athboy seems to be the only exchange in Meath with a definite launch date. Then there is the point that Gonzo made. They could be stating an area will be live with an indeterminate number of premises passed. I wonder has the whole of the Athboy blue line map been cabled?
