It has said that since the 3rd April, I ordered on the 3rd when it went live on the website, but they have been saying that the area goes live on the 3rd May and I will receive a follow up after that time with an install date. I'm just curious if others have been getting the same info, or if engineers are in the area installing.

Grumpypants wrote: » I'm in Ballybuck, up near the soccer pitch. The splitter boxes have been in since the end of March. The whole area seems to have been done since then, which is why i thought the April 3rd date made sense. I don't know where May 3rd came from but I've been told it 2-3 times.
Grumpypants wrote: » Any of the other Kinvarra folk on this thread got their order in? and gotten an install date? I've my "pre-order" in, the website says we are live but Eir keeps saying we don't go live until the 3rd of May. Interested to see if others who have ordered got the same info and if install dates start coming fairly soon.

As I live in a 2 person household and I use up 90% of the data to myself, the 1tb is grand for me, but if there was 1 or 2 extra people in the household who use the internet reguarly the 1tb data would be well smashed by the end of each month with FTTH.

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?

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?

Checked a few eircodes and they seem to confirm that its not available in those areas. It is showing as available about 1km from nicker where the poles have those splice boxes. No kn vans in the area so Im thinking it will be a few weeks.

The where and when map says FTTH to be enabled Winter 2017 and I know this is very loose as it has slipped by 12 months already. Just curious as to where I should be looking for the most up to date info. Thanks

Won't you just keep on finding more use for all that extra capacity. 1tb simply isn't enough, and let's hope the recent hints that Eir are changing their fair usage policy turn out to be true.

Grumpypants wrote: » This is definitely because the usage counter is by month and the usage charge is by billing period. So they have a 1tb fair use policy, with a substantial charge attached to it and give you no way to monitor your usage. Even worse they lead you to think you are under the limit.
