I just said are you selling it now? Nope so good luck. Also when ordering the Eir Fibre the agent gave me great advice, said don't mess about. Just order Fibre, let them install it then ring 1901 and change your package. You have 14 days do swap it around to what you want. Cancelling orders, trying to mess with phone lines etc is just causing more problems than it is worth.

The FUP is petty, especially considering many customers don't go over it, it's just really annoying knowing that the FUP is there, and gives you a reason to check the data allowance. If another reseller joins the party and offers proper true unlimited usage, many of us here will move to that provider when contracts are up just to have no FUP and Eir would lose out on a certain % of customers because of the FUP.

I'm talking mainly about the Pallasgreen and Crossagalla exchange areas in the last couple of weeks. There is no sign of work commencing in the Inch St Lawernce area as it is down for Summer/Autumn 17. Are they putting up fibre cables in Swords Co. Dublin not due until winter 17 according to another post in this thread?
"Great news. Your premises is on open eir’s 300k rural fibre rollout programme. We expect fibre broadband to be available to you by the second half of 2017."

Everyone else in the are has it (FTTC) apart from my house. Tried ordering a second phone line too and it still wont support broadband.

Emails them maps account numbers of next door who have efibre and the other neighbours closer and further away who have it to comprehend and any other email address I thought would help. Offered to pay for any work myself that needs to be done to the line to get it to my house. Keep getting told that computer says no. Give up at this stage. I just have meteor 4 g dongle.

The nearest of the houses not being served is around 250m from the pole splitter. So close......... I wouldn't expect any speed improvements if you are remaining on ADSL (copper FTTC).
