I asked them was it for internet, it is they said. I said but we're not on the blue line so to speak, "well it's being run here and everywhere will get it eventually" they said should I get my hopes up?

That road has now gone live but only as far as the end of the blue line. Any eircodes for houses beyond the limit are still failing on the eir website and blank on the openeir map. Fibre and splice boxes up but not live, must be beyond frustrating. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you!

I suppose it's just as cheap for them to run everywhere they will eventually cover, now, while they're here and waiting on other stuff rather than just sitting idle.

Just googling the cable description it seems to be some sort of seismic monitoring? It is nothing like anything posted already in the thread.http://www.ymg.ru/en/content/seismic-equipmenthttp://geospace-ufa.ru/catalog/kabel/kabel-telmor.html

The first road to be surveyed is the "R125". The survey will include Rathmoylon, Summerhill and Ratoath. Date Released: 06 July 2017 Teck Ireland wishes to advise the general public that a seismic survey will be carried out over the next few weeks by contractors IMC GSL. This survey follows similar surveys carried out in county Meath in recent years. This survey will be a road survey using truck-mounted Vibroseis units and will be accompanied by a road crew placing small measuring units connected by cables at the side of road. Surveying will commence on or about the 30 June 2017 and will continue for approx. 25 days. The first road to be surveyed is the "R125". The survey will include Rathmoylon, Summerhill and Ratoath. The survey will produce geological data from depths as great as 2 km and is an element of our on-going mineral exploration programme. Teck Ireland wishes to apologise for any inconvenience arising from this work.

There is no ducting there at the moment and the current phone line just runs along a thin pipe on the ground. There are three houses on the lane but I believe only two will go ahead with the install. To be on the safe side, what size ducting would you recommend for three cores + some over?

They gave the same date that Eir gave so I presume the system that the retailers use for orders/line checks is OpenEirs portal and this is where the specific date of the 2nd August came from. Still not DPs up, just the fibre on the poles. So I hope there's so activity outside this week.

I know of more than one person who was signed up to a special offer on "fibre" with their current supplier to later discover they were tied up to contracts for 2 years that were actually fiber to the cabinet.. In many cases they were 3, 4 5 or more kilometers from the cabinet so getting 1 mb down.. When FTTH did become available they ended up having to buy out 2 year contracts or stick with their current crappy copper.. Funny these "special offers" only became available 2 to 3 monhts before FTTH became available..
