Since the Fibre line went live last week on my road there has been five houses connected to it as of last night. My brother was installed yesterday morning and a house near where the main Fibre cables terminates got connected. I know there is at least one other household awaiting installation with another on the point of ordering. The local national school has yet to be connected. At the moment there is some sort of a WiMAX antenna facing south west on the school building. I don't know who is the service provider. At the moment there should be 7 connections on my road out of possible 24 premises by the end of the week.

I noticed the uptake is poor around the Pallasgreen area ATM particularly Old Pallas and on the road to herberstown. Is it not live in Pallasgreen village as Blogin explained in his last post. I suppose the take probably range from poor in some areas to fairly good in other.

Knn are very lazy guys dont want do any hard work at all very disappointed with them as a company.

I was called yesterday to confirm my install for today and then they said the installer is very busy tomorrow and would I like to postpone. I said no. This morning the splice box isn't live. I can't help wondering if he was just looking for any reason to cancel some jobs.

Its a gamble, some of them are ex teclo and great. Some were digging footpaths last week and somebody handed them a JDSU and said "go".

I think this was discussed before, but anyone know if the Bundle prices on the Eir site include the €2 discount for Direct Debit?

It may be a while before it moves to fibre. Primary school broadband is awarded to service providers who bid for lots of schools under the terms of a framework agreement. Even if the existing provider can also provide FTTH (and there are not many wireless providers who also provide FTTH), there's no real incentive to upgrade it before it comes to the end of its contract term.

I thought the Fibre would be terminated in the utility with an Ethernet cable wired up to the office room directly above.

Depends on how flexible the installer is.

It's definitely live in Pallasgreen village. I've seen them installing.

The pallasgreen exchange went live may 3rd. My road (still in the village) has only gone live and taking orders on the web site since October 4th. But as of this morning, it's not really live on my road and those black boxes are obviously Christmas decorations.

My brother got ftth installed yesterday. The technician was a younger man from Nenagh. Co Tipperary. His Fibre line was flown from the pole with the splice approximately 25m to his pole on the perimeter of his property. The line was ducted alongside the existing copper to the inside of the back door into the utility room. The Fibre was wired upstairs directly above to his office room. The cable was terminated and the new Eir F2000 router was installed in place of his old dsl one. There is a generous amount of Fibre in his house. I thought the Fibre would be terminated in the utility with an Ethernet cable wired up to the office room directly above.

Just seen this on Sky T&C's:
Outside of your Minimum Term, you can also cancel your subscription by either transferring your
Service(s) to an alternative service provider or giving us 31 days’ notice at any time (depending on
what type of service you are moving to (if any)).

Gipo3

Whats the situation when changing from Sky broadband and phone to Eir FTTH. I'm assuming I dont have to cancel Sky, that it will be taken care of as before?

yea mine seem a failed install the duct to small so does anybody know any contractors that could do me a new duct.

thats a pity. Is there not a telephone pole near your home, where they can drop the wire from the pole to the roof of your house.?

It's a pity KN don't offer to fix the duct, even for an extra fee.

Installed today through 1/2" hydrodare no probs.

Says a lot about eir's attitude and systems. However, says a lot more about the possibility of any normal pensioner affording ffth.

Our situation is still bad, I won't even go into detail but Eir could offer us free internet for the year and at this stage we wouldn't accept it.

I read people saying stay away but thought I did my due diligence asking every question and meeting higher up people etc, but I should have listened and stayed away.

What a crock! And Eir gets fined buttons! No wonder they can keep on keeping on. How many more people never went the length of Comreg or anywhere else and just paid up and shut up? Horrible company :mad:

Let us know how you get on. I'm going to rent a mini-digger and install the duct myself first.

Yeah, I got a call about it the other day, but didn't order as I was sceptical from reports here. The openeir site still has no date for going live. But, over the weekend I noticed that the splitter box was up on the pole outside the house, and looks ready to go. I might go ahead and order, and see what happens.

Just tried again wirelessly and got 106 down, so the Digiweb cable must be OK, if Speedtest is to be trusted. Will get some better cables when I can, and get back to more important things in life...

Forget the speed test until you see 1Gbps link speed on your wired ethernet adapter status. Turn off WiFi too.

I agree though just forget about it if you're using WiFi all the time you won't notice the difference in speed
