Do you think I should pull through a new fish line to try free any potential blockages or would my current fish line that's in the duct do for the KN guys to pull through their cable through? Thanks

Their plan is to have a box within 150m of a potential subscriber (3 poles), they have run drop cables 200m (4 poles) according to posts here.
plodder wrote: » I presumed that the 8x and 4x split idea meant that the boxes outside houses wouldn't have more than 4 subscribers. But, I suppose they have the flexibility to mix it up other ways. I presume they are still sticking with no more than 32 subscribers per strand, or could there be more than 32? That would be slightly worrying.

For example: Wilkinstown in Meath, 590 on this press release, 190 on http:www.openeir.ie/Our_Network (updated Friday 15th September), and none (all blue icons) on the fibrerollout map also updated on Friday 15th. It's like there are different sections updating different documents with no communication between them.
