BUT I have no interest in a phone and as neither Pure nor Eir seem to be interested in offering broadband only Digiweb work out cheapest for me. (although I am sure they both have a package somewhere that works out the same price as Digiweb)

Some service sell a product thats not available. Is this port located in one of the green cabinets that then feeds the black boxes on the poles??

Map got updated too, looks like FTTH will start arriving in about 2 weeks Estimated date for first Live Fibre Services is 22 March 2017. Estimated date for first live FTTH with speeds up to 1000Mb/s is 05 Apr.

Grumpypants wrote: » on this one http://fibrerollout.ie/where-and-when/ On the right hand side if you click the box "Fibre Build Commenced", it puts a dark green icon on the map. Hover over that and it gives the info 22nd March for FTTC, and 5th April now called out for FTTH. Up until this week FTTH just said spring/summer. That is a positive. Even if it takes a few weeks to get the whole town done it is so close I can almost taste those juicy gb/s speeds :pac:

plodder wrote: » I think it's more like one physical port for every group on the same strand of fibre. So, there could be up to 32 houses on each port. But, even still, I'd be suspicious that there is confusion between FTTC and FTTH somewhere along the line. It's hard to imagine they are running out of ports that quickly.
davis27 wrote: » I would have thought it was fibre from home to spilter black box on pole. One strand back to the green cabinet which is also used for fftc services where fibre goes from there back into main exchange in a town. My impression was there wasn't enough ports available on the green exchange box to provide fibre to my home and other homes around me and like previous comment that cabinet needs to be updated to provide more ports
