However it's not showing as available to Sky who we are with and are cheaper than eir Any idea how long it usually takes for eir to approve/update for another carrier using the eir infrastructure like Sky currently do with broadband?

Robinstown (near Navan) seems to be also live. Was previously a dark green in development dot with Spring/Summer 2018. Also with no number of premises passed. Could be mistakes in the update?

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 Sea The spreadsheet has been updated with the revised numbers. As of today the total (excluding urban-rural) is: 34620 (32.56%).

Problem turned out to be the speed test running through browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome - all up to date). Downloaded the Ookla App and straight away started getting full speeds. As mentioned above CAT5e is fine for gigabit and even short CAT5 will probably work fine too.

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?
ED E wrote: » RIB 05 would be RIB exchange Cab 5 by normal convention, but theres no RIB exchange that I know of. Are you on the R180 in Monaghan? Then it would be R180, Main Cable 5, Drop L.
KeRbDoG wrote: » Nop, off the R125 to the west of Swords. What's a RIB exchange?
irishkopite 2011 wrote: » RIB 05 stands for ribbon 05. A ribbon is the area which is being served from an exchange for fibre, so this is the fifth area to be served for fibre from this particular exchange. A ribbon is also called a supercell.

Rang several times, left on hold for over 5 minutes on each call. Had to get hold of a supervisor. They kept telling me that I got installed, but it was just the KN guy wiring up my telephone again! Eventually was told last Thursday they messed up my order and I have to cancel and then re-register. Called them yesterday and was told this still wasn't done. Got through to sales who promised they'd call me this morning with an update. Still no call yet! I'm having serious doubts about signing up to Eir!!!!
