irishkopite 2011 wrote: » Well in that case you will know that there is a Kevlar strength member going through the centre of the cable to take stress off the fibre, but with all that said we still don't know why the cable was replaced, just guess work

But I suspect that we've missed our splicing timeslot and will have to wait for another one, that's what is pissing me off the most. Had the original plan remained on schedule, it could even be live now.

Come on get a move on lads! Throw a few shapes - these threads are scant on progress for the last few months. Expecting a massive pick up in progress reported here in the next couple of months.

Gonzo wrote: » just over half the amount of the current rural blue line rollout. The current blue line FTTH rollout covering approx 302,000 premises is costing Eir roughly 200 million euros (quoted in a recent interview). This cost breaks down to just over 6,600 euros per premises regardless if they order FTTH or not.
digiman wrote: » About €660, Eir certainly wouldn't be doing it if it cost over €6k per home and only taking in around €25-30 per month from wholesale prices. Would take them multiple decades to make any money back

I have called Eir about 5 times, keep being told not available to me as yet as my line does not pass the line test. Some neighbours ordered it from the Eir Sales guy who called to homes before Xmas and have install dates of today and next week (funnily enough, haven't seen any Eir/KN vans around today for installs)... Many other houses who are all wired for FTTH are not passing the line checker as well, but some are... Don't know wtf is going on? Eir can tell me nothing "Don't call us...we'll call you" attitude...

Gwynston wrote: » Bearing in mind Eir, who are responsible for the line checker and are offering the service, are different to Open Eir who are responsible for the network: It would be interesting if the neighbours who are passing the line check are showing up as available to other FTTH suppliers - if there are any? That would tell us if the database update has been propagated to rival suppliers. (Even if it will probably take an Open Eir or KN crew to physically connect the property first). Or if the Eir sales guy's actions are breaking competition rules by only making customer availability visible to Eir... :eek: I think that area went live the last week of December.
