So 500 staff working on the roll out from ducting, rolling out the fibre, installing the splitters (& the installs?) If we assume each area takes a months effort to pass 400 houses with 20 people working full time. And that still leaves 100 staff to do installs. That meets with 10,000 houses passed a month. I think thats plausable ?

FTTH now soon available but they do not provide FTTH so I put it to them that they could not fulfill their promise at time of contract. 2. They said my line was showing a "red flag fault". I think because of distance from exchange (think we are at outer extremity). 3. At 1-2mb I told them it was not fit for purpose (trying to operate a business from home) Some raised voices but they released me for one or more of above reasons. Some have said that Eir will contribute €200 to release from VF to new eir contract but don't know full details

Bored Accountant wrote: » 26000 premises passed in 2 months...yes way off target... Yes they defo over estimated the 100,000 passed by March, but I think that may just have been somewhat strategic waiting for the contract & NBP to be agreed and they now have a whole load in thier pocket they can suddenly start reporting as being completed.

KOR101 wrote: » I did check the definitions"Premises Passed" means for: (a) a wireline network, when a Premises for which the wireline network has a Distribution Point sufficiently close to that Premises such that High Speed Broadband Services can be provisioned for that Premises; and (b) a wireless network, when a Premises for which the wireless network has sufficient signal quality for that Premises such that High Speed Broadband Services can be provisioned for that Premises, and eir has listed the status of the Premises as 'ready for order' on the eir NGA Plan File. So, the premises do not need to be 'Connected' which does have a defined period in which Eir must make the actual connection. The premises 'can be provisioned' because the fibre is close, appears to be enough.

Or does the retail operator take it from the pole to the house?

KOR101 wrote: » The 'Connection Request' is up to end uses and retail operators. A 'Connected Premises' is one where a 'Connection Request' can be made, and that's totally up to OE. But it all confusing because the 'Premises Passed' must be listed in the NGA as 'Ready for Order' which you would think means the same as 'Premises Connected', but clearly doesn't. [edit] Or does the retail operator take it from the pole to the house?

I told him I believed that vodafone were not involved in the ftth, and are not on the list of service providers listed here: http://fibrerollout.ie/eircode-lookup/service-providers/ He says they are, and offered my a discount to renew, I am suspicious. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
