As we got rid of the landline many years back, is this likely to slow up installation when it becomes possible to order? Is there an additional cost when you don't have a landline already?

Trace back from your home along the yellow line to the nearest exchange (usually in the nearest village). Then zoom in on where the lines meet at the exchange and click on the little exchange icon. It might give a more accurate date there.

The duct wouldn't have been able to be used anyway as the fiber can only go 1m inside your premises

The cable was not free in the duct though so it couldn't be used, I had addressed all that with the first installer and he appreciated only being on-site for 10 minutes (I'm in IT) so rang me later that day to say his boss had authorised the pole install. The duct wouldn't have been able to be used anyway as the fiber can only go 1m inside your premises and our DP is on the other side of the house from my Network cabinet & they can't run anything through the attic. :rolleyes:

The newly released rural exchange timeline lists us as 554 premises planned. My house is one of 11 blue home icons in the Dunshaughlin area, perhaps they can all avail of FTTH already, but it's now very confusing to what the actual total is and will the original estimate of 570 be completed and if not, why did 16 premises get dropped from the list.

MunsterCycling wrote: » Not necessarily true. I had it installed on Monday and we are more than 50m from the NTP and they had to install a pole to do so. It can be done but then again we qualified to begin with, just their crazy restrictions (KN) on how the fiber terminates meant they had to install extra infrastructure to get the service to us.
More recently Eircom have re-visited its policy on connecting end users and are adopting a FTTH network design that targets bringing a DP to within 150 meters of all premises. While such a design should significantly reduce the potential number of “non-standard” connections there will still be occasions where new infrastructure will need to be deployed to connect a fibre drop from the DP to the end user’s premises. For more remote end users Eircom may have to deploy additional poles or underground infrastructure along public roads between the DP and the end user’s premises. In these instances Eircom have defined a Network Touch Point (‘NTP’) which is located where the end user property boundary meets the public road. As any infrastructure between the DP and the NTP is on a public road it has the potential to be used by more than one end user but any infrastructure that would be deployed beyond the NTP would be on private property and it would most probably be unique to one end user. As we understand it, Eircom’s policy is that, provided that the end user’s premises is less than 50 meters from the NTP, it will deploy all the infrastructure that is required between the DP and the NTP and connect the end user but that the costs of such incremental infrastructure should be recovered as part of the up-front connection cost paid by the RSP. In those instances where the end user’s premises is over 50 meters from the NTP the end user will be required to provide roped duct from their premises to the NTP on the public road before Eircom would deploy the fibre drop.
