I was down for install on 12th. Rang this morning and now due tomorrow morning. Credit on this to long_b for the post with this number somewhere above #star

It was something of a disappointment with only three areas given due dates, all the 31st of May: Donegal | Fintown Mayo | Murrisk Wexford | Fethard On SeaThe spreadsheet has been updated with the revised numbers. As of today the total (excluding urban-rural) is: 34620 (32.56%).

They use underground duct to connect from it to the end of my road and then go overhead so fingers crossed its FTTH related time will tell Update: Took a wander to see what they had been working at as I only passed by earlier in the car. Looks like either cable got pulled or subduct, most prob just subduct. Some poles on my road marked. The main point which the copper cable comes from the underground section to overhead to feed the road is marked with an 'L'. I think come other poles might be marked with a C or a E, couldn't get a good look. Is there a decoding list for those markings? Near the old cab/FTTC location, a manhole is marked with RIB 05?

Moved from one 6 month window to another one three months further out. What you want to see in a project like this is initially broad estimates, narrowing and getting more specific. You would have very little confidence in a shifting plan like this

They are doing the roads leading out of the town/village. I'm living in village centre in an area that just went live and cant get FTTH, the first house to get FTTH on the road out of town is closer to the exchange than I am. Think the map has been updated showing Carrigart exchange with 370 premises able to get FTTH 1000Mb/s.
Allison Puny Appetite wrote: » 12000 was good progress, however the fact that there are only three areas listed for the next month is worrying plus plodder stating that areas are being pushed back again. I'll look into tracking by date. Also the alternative map has been updated.
