Might they have been finishing connection for the fibre and splice boxes already fitted by KN to the poles down our road? Because that's just a secondary cabinet which has been fibre-upgraded for months, but I thought that just enabled FTTC for nearby houses? Doesn't all FTTH fibre connect directly to the central exchange and bypass any outlying cabinets? I suppose the fibre might run via that cab's ducting and there's some connection needed under there? Also saw a KN crew up poles on the south side of Claregalway this morning, but houses on that road have been labelled live for a few weeks. Maybe this crew was actually doing an installation connection? He had a big coil of wire in his hand.

We have the NBP and then the 300k homes which Eir have agreed to connect via FTTH (or give a service more than 30/8Mbps), so those 300k homes aren't part of the NBP/State Intervention right but thats OK as they will be connected before the NBP kicks off which they have already said is delayed due to the initial 300k homes taking longer...unless I've misunderstood the news etc.?ah,sure - you email fibrepower@openeir.ie and give them your Eircode and ask them for an expected date when it is planned to go live with FTTH services

Great.......except no fibre installed....no splitters on poles ....duct at end of pole but no cable in duct. Invisible fibre has arrived.!!!!!!?

This is the list they are probably referring to, the 300k rollout, http://www.dccae.gov.ie/en-ie/communications/topics/Broadband/national-broadband-plan/high-speed-broadband-map/Pages/Interactive-Map.aspx What does the map indicate for your eircode? Also, open-eir's own fibre rollout site - http://fibrerollout.ie/ If you're not on the list, you'll have to wait for the NBP rollout. ah,sure wrote: » Turns out I'm too far from the nearest exchange for rural bb, and my Eircode means I'm not going to get Fibre to the home either; a severe case of Computer Says No. When you say rural bb, are you referring to ADSL or FTTC? How far are you from the exchange, as the line runs?

vintagevrs wrote: » Must work for Eir? Get a grip lad? He's making the point that you have no information on the levers at work that influence where these crews go, so to just say it's bad management of manpower with no knowledge of what their reasons are is just giving out for the sake of it. I am pretty sure they are not sending KN and their own crews out randomly with no plan, although to us uninformed it may well look that way. Especially when it impacts the provision in your own area it is easy to give out. *I don't work for Eir

Turfwarrior wrote: » Crews spent 2 days in the area putting up fibre a week ago but left the last 500mtrs unwired,no splice boxes yet either. Local exchange due to go live today. Can't understand why the crews don't finish an area and then move on,bad management of man power IMO

Blogin wrote: » They did the exact same here in Pallasgreen. No fibre or splice boxes yet 10 weeks after exchange went live. I think this is pretty normal for them. The exchange fringes (probably the ones with the worst broadband) wait longest. Someone else suggested it might be turning on an exchange one bit at a time to minimize problems.
