This area covers the Caherconlish, Ballyneety, Ballybricken, Boher and parts of the Ballysimon areas. They have yet to wire up fibre on overhead poles. They may have laid cables in the underground ducts but I haven't seen any of yet. Oleres Do you live in Patrickswell? If so keep us updated on the progress here in this thread.

I watched an operator sniff traffic on a core router last year and there was a few hundred meg from speedtest.net *all the time*. He said it was taking up a good bit of bandwidth on an aggregation link. I think when fibre becomes normal, speedtests will go away.

I live in a development of 14 houses along a main road. We are a few 100 metres too far from the exchange get their FTTC offer. Our estate is about 1km outside a village and 3km outside a town, between both. On their map the FTTH line is coming towards us, then turns right up into a back road and continues up that way, up into the hills, serving 27 houses. If they continue it straight on (along a main road so surely easier to lay?) they will serve 48 directly along the road and about 150 more if they turn left and continue on the same road the same distance they are going up into the hills. There does not appear to be any logic to that. Does anyone here know if there is a way to appeal or get them to consider extending where they lay the fibre, by way of explaining things, making a case or even getting residents to contribute to any cost? Thanks.

Does anyone here know if there is a way to appeal or get them to consider extending where they lay the fibre, by way of explaining things, making a case or even getting residents to contribute to any cost?

Also, my house is down a slope from the road making the gable too low I think. So on Tuesday I'm expecting to be told a pole will need to be installed closer to my house. Assume that will delay things a bit. Anybody know what happens in this scenario?
yammagamma wrote: » not sure but kn/difussion guy told me when he was wiring up a splitter box it will be smaller cable then is going from pole to pole as i was worried about feeding it throught my existing duct/hydropipe.. he even stripped the fiber cable showing me i think it was 32 individual fiber strands/cable was it 4x8 or 8x4 or something like that

Where are the primary splitter's located at junction points where the fiber goes off in a different direction. I've drawn diagram of how i interpret the pole to pole network is layed out, is this correct or are the fibers arranged a different way.

I'm not using with F2000 wifi - I connect to one of two wifi routers which are then wired into the F2000 via a couple of hubs. I'm seeing occasional but sizeable delays on page loads on, say, boards.ie even though the ping from my phone to the site is fine (<10 Ms) Really is making it feel like a slower connection than with my previous setup. Has anyone else found this? Should I be looking at changing DNS or something?

There is a Cul de Sac branching of my country road with about 20 houses but only 2 or 3 will be passed for ftth when it happens in the next month. There are dozens of houses down my road going towards Limerick City served be the Castletroy exchange waiting for the government to connect them. There are 6 national schools connected to the Inch St Lawernce exchange but 2 of them will probably be waiting for the government's NRB.
