Eir rural FTTH thread

KNN were back today, cut all the tree's and branches on my road again and marked all the poles past the ducting with yellow painted codes and arrows.

all ducting manholes now marked with white paint and arrows.

KNN were also on the Porterstown lane today where the blue line crosses from the Dunshaughlin exchange into the Ratoath exchange.

Wow some waste if they don't plan to move faster!

They cut the branches back in April but much of it grew back over the summer and they did a much more noticeable chopping today.


The yellow painted codes and arrows marked on the road side beside the poles including the one beside my front gate gives me more hope that the wiring team should be here soon.

We had fibres on poles at the end of September, still no sign of any live connections though.

they probably have to wire up a few other roads in the exchange before going live. In Dunshaughlin there is 1 road with about 20 houses wired up but the rest are all going through ducting work and pole marking.

I can't see us going live till the roads currently worked on are all wired up. Will probably be January or February before we go live.

walked all of the blue sections in my area, basically what starts off as 1 blue line breaks up into 3 segments and I'm near the end of the first segment.

All ducting is now coded in white paint with arrows.
On my section of blue line the ducting ends about 400 meters from my home and there are about 8 Eir poles starting from where the ducting ends to the last pole on the road which is 1 pole past my home.

Out of the 8 poles, 4 of them are coded with yellow paint on the roadside as WP1 (first pole where ducting ends), then a few poles on it's WP2 etc. The pole outside my gate is marked as WP4 with END and an arrow pointing back towards Dunshaughlin.

I presume these WP1-4 marked poles signify extra work will be carried out?
I guess the pole outside my home will feed the final pole including the last 2 houses on the road.

It's the same situation on the other 2 blue line segments, some poles have been marked WP (1,2,3,4) etc and the second last pole on each of those segments also has a WP code and END with an arrow.

Perhaps the code WP could mean Winter Pole as in these poles will be wired up during winter.

From what I saw it definitely appears that the blue lines end where they are on the map.
