I pre-ordered first and no confirmation, then when i followed up a week later Eir cancelled the order and told me to wait till my road was live, then on the date given to me I got in contact with the Eir reps on boards and had a confirmation and an install 2 days later.

I'm in a new build, no phone line (ever) going into the site but the telephone poles go right by my front garden so cant see a problem getting the fiber or a phone line in if required. On the map i can see I'm on one of the rural fiber runs with my house marked with a symbol, and its due to go live first half of 2018 (Borrisoleigh). Question is do i need a phone line pre-servicing my house to order FTTH, or can i just order efiber when it goes live and they come and do the civil work then? I'm guessing i should bite the bullet and get a phone line installed, but at the same time dont want to waste money if its not necessary.

Marlow wrote: » Actual installations seems to be commercially sensitive (SIRO), but SIRO has passed/enabled 85000 homes, that are ready for installation. That was actually in the last press release, that also announced the build-out for Athlone town. If the 12000 figure of Eir/OpenEir is correct, then SIRO has passed 4 times as much. /M

Allison Puny Appetite wrote: » I think you're trolling me now Marlow. The 12000 figure quoted for eir was actual physical FTTH connections.
Marlow wrote: » If I was trolling, I wouldn't have specified, that these are homes passed. Also, the 12000 figure was, as I said, very questionable. Given the fact, that it took them 9 months to install the first 6000 and they suddenly did another 6000 in 3 months, when that figure is what they predicted, but can't deliver. They're finalizing approx 10-15% of what they predicted at the moment due to problems with their contractors. The 12000 figure didn't come from the department, so can't be taken for granted. I'm looking forward to the next report. /M

I was told it was a Tier 2 case. One of the agents hadn't seen the problem before.. Turns out there was a provisional failure on the account, a blockage on the line once the new ffth system rebooted after the old dsl account was ceased. She said the signal was going zig zag instead of straight, so now they hope to rectify it by Friday. My experience has been awful. Four days speaking to every department in Eir, four different case numbers. All Il say is that I hope no one else experiences this problem with ftth.
