Took ages in some places as I think they worked hard to clear blockages, etc. So every eir pole has been left with a loop of this black ducting sticking out of the ground next to it. So, what is the next stage? Does another team come out and push fibre through this ducting? Our area is down for FTTH from Winter 2016.

I passed a van of theirs this morning and some lads working on the poles along our road (north of Claregalway on the side road to Corrandulla). What's promising is that they were working at around the point where the blue line on the rollout map ends coming from the cabinet on the N17 at Loughgeorge. (There's a seperate blue line coming from the Corrandulla end but the cab there on the N84 Headford road is not upgraded yet) Which means if they're working backwards from that end point to the N17 live fibre cab (which is connected to the Claregalway exchange), they'll be going right by my house which is on the road! :cool:

The blue line from that cabinet ends around the corner from me near the cemetery. I'm on the blue line coming from the other end - the cabinet at Loughgeorge. That's been fibre live for a few months, but I'm over 2km away so can't get fibre over the copper wire The Claregalway exchange that it's connected to says "Winter 2016 / Spring 2017". So I was pleasantly surprised to see them working on it as the Turloughmore cab says "Winter 2016" which suggested to me it would be earlier in the FTTH pecking order (even though Lackagh/Turloghmore was upgraded later than the Loughgeorge/Claregalway)
