All secondary schools are supposed to have 100Mb/s since the latest contract. What you're describing sounds more like the primary schools contract.

No it was both primary and secondary, but it was 10 years ago.

Teacher: Come on, your work was due ages ago.
Student: That's what eir said too but you see how that turned out. I'll have it done by next year.. maybe

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.

Sounds promising!

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

is there a map for their ftth plans?

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.

Yes, I expect so as there are other roads that also have fibres on poles that are unterminated.

My house would be on one the blue lines, does that mean its planned ftth

yep it is, you should see FTTH at some point over the next 1-3 years.

It's not great when a tree grows faster than they lay fiber.

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.

saw some progress on the Tara exchange today on my way to Navan, some ducting work near the Ross Cross junction on the old N3.

Which is the worst news for me. Im 300 metres short of the blue line. I was hoping not to have the endure this Imagine LTE crap for much longer.

Line of sight to a cooperative neighbour?

Independent interview with Carolan Lennon. The 35000 premises passed by years end is again mentioned.

I think someone needs to inform them there is only 4 working weeks left in the year, not 4 months.

36,000 per month was possible when the FTTC rollout was firing on all cylinders, but FTTH is a vastly slower rollout process.

The fact that it's taken 8 months to complete 1.5km of ducting on my road doesn't fill me with confidence that this target will be met before Christmas day.

Me either. The only hope I see is that they could have lots of places cabled like the road I saw in Kells last weekend. It hasn't been mentioned in any of the map updates. If they had areas like this spread across the country it may be possible. I still think it is pretty unlikely though.

there are probably various road wired up but they won't go live until a certain amount of other areas in the same exchange are wired up. In Dunshaughlin there is no more than 20-25 premises wired up on the Trim road and it won't go live till the rest of the areas being worked on here are wired up. There are 570 premises planned here, most of the blue lines are being worked on here at the moment. Looks like when Dunshaughlin finally goes live that most of the rollout here will be done in 1 go.

KNN seem to have started laying ducting up here outside Donegal Town during the week. Will try to snap pics next time I see em. Area's down for the "Winter 2016/Spring 2017" time period, will be interesting to see how much they overshoot it by :pac:

I thought Techbytes should have been updated by now about Bray and a few other exchanges going live on Wednesday gone by.

Folks,

It seems from all mapping and checker that Fibre is available in my townland. The house is down a lane, approximately 150m from the route.

We have an eircom landline? Would Fibre connection be possible?

Only eir can tell you for sure.
