I'm not an expert on commercial viability, unlike you obviously.

Their original press releases pointed towards a rural development and their website had up until recently images of rural ireland, mountains and one off housing which was very misleading. Siro only operate in urban areas and now there website has been updated to reflect that, referring to regional Ireland instead of rural Ireland and images showing more urban like locations. Siro will never set foot in rural Ireland unless they win part of the NBP. They are an urban fibre broadband provider similar to Virgin Media.

The installation cost for the first 10,000 subscribers is not likely to be less than the last 10,000 (of the 300K). If anything, they will get better and more efficient as they go along. Completing all 300K by a specific short deadline is a different question obviously. But, they will get there sooner or later.

I can understand the one at 450m not being included but the other I don't when you consider there are other premises in the exchange area that are further from the road and have been included, two that I checked were between 200m and 210m from the main road. Is there any logic to this
celtic_oz wrote: » the diagram is suggesting that the first houses to be connected will be the lowest cost Eir will delay an install proportional to the cost of it. Example you are part of the 300k but you live up a hill on your own with no other houses for 10 miles .. Eir will delay your install until they have every house that is less costly done.
if you are in the last third of most costly homes you are potentially screwed.

They change their name so the can pretend they're new to the party. They have been nothing short of an embarrassment over the last two decades. Giving them the soft 300k in the hope that it might jumpstart what must be a dying company is probably not a bad idea - but only if the dept. keep a watchful eye and hold them to the contract. Otherwise we'll be all back on those 3 dongles. :P

That they haven't should be telling us something and causing negative reaction to their lack of effort.IF eir can manage to fulfil the contract that will be a HUGE step forward for 300k premises ...... nearly 1 million people will benefit. I have my doubts that eir can do this ...... but they have signed a legal agreement, so for now they get the benefit of the doubt from me.
digiman wrote: » SIRO and ENET are in a very different scenario to Eir. Eir has almost 1200 exchanges with over around 7k cabs when they started this with an extensive fibre backhaul network, compare that to SIRO who are in a few towns and ENET who have done a trial. It's a hell of a lot easier for Eir to do this compared to any of the others.
Also, Eir's No. 1 ambition is to go to IPO. It's very obvious from on here with the many examples where they have left out premises who are along the yellow line from their 300k rollout plan or left 1 or 2 houses at the end of a blue line which are only 100m onwards from the last house on the yellow line. It is no more commercially un-viable to serve that house than the one before it. But if you leave it out then it makes it commercially un-viable for SIRO or ENET to connect it as they won't want to rent 3km of dark fibre from Eir to serve that last house 100m from the end of the blue line and you couldn't run 3km of new fibre to connect just 1 house.
Eir pulled a masterstroke in what they done and it's will be fantastic for everyone who gets connected as part of the 300k. However it will push up the price overall for the NBP, push it out further and could well jeopardize the whole project which suits Eir and their shareholders perfectly.
