From what the KN guy said, i'd have to get the trench dug as far as the manhole. Cant see how that would be practical to do at all. Would also have to break up some concrete at the house to bring it in

What are kn installers doing in this instance? I'd prefer the ftth cable to come in through the duct but this would probably mean cutting the road. Would they be insisting on putting up poles and running overheard. PS I have no exist ING phone line

Like so many people here I live in rural Ireland and have been waiting for a number of years to see it come to my area. finally 3 weeks ago they have completed the installation of the boxes. The Eir checker says Fibre to the home is available now for my house eircode. Issue is now I am with Sky and Sky have not yet been notified by Eircom that its available. So they have no power to put in order to have me connected. I understand the monopoly and that Eircom and Eir are workign together, even though are supposed to be separate companies. So first of all, Anyone out there found themselves in same position on how long did it take before your ISP? Other thing, Isn't this highly Illegal what Eir are doing regards trying to capture as many customers as possible and holding back other ISPs from upgrading their customers? It would just be typical of this country that finally broadband is here and now its being hooked up efficiently cause of corruption!! All thoughts welcome.

I am looking into Cancelling Broadband and Talk with Sky now to move to Eir. lol this is all a bit of mess, I thought I would be able to upgrade to use Sky Q box. Surely Sky are going to do FTTH soon, anyone have insight to that? i work from home so I just going to take the fee for breaking contract on the chin.

He seemed to know the difference between FTTH and FTTC. He said it will be FFTH as the fibre cable will be installed directly into the home. I decide to order the 150mb package. Hopefully nothing will go wrong
