Had Imagine call last week and inform me that I am now able to avail of their service. Turned it down cause I didnt want to be tied to them for 18 months and they wouldnt budge on that. Am I doing the right thing? Gettimg a steady 4-5mbps at the moment which is ok if guaranteed rollout next year

northknife wrote: » Only paying €40 at the moment instead of €60 to imagine and that is with proper unlimited BB not the 20mg daily limit. This is also along with the 18 month contract and €100 installation fee. If the dates for installation are correct, in 6-8 months I could have a multitude of providers and only have to stick to a 12 month contract. Is there any contact details where you could get a concrete answer either way as to whether or not this installation date will be met?

We do not throttle or cap service, however, if a customer exceeds the stated fair usage allowance for data on more than 2 occasions in any 90 day period, then Digiweb reserve the right to terminate or suspend the customer’s service. Digiweb will proactively contact customers in advance of any suspension or termination of service.**" Vodafone: "15. The fair usage cap for data usage on the Gigabit Broadband Service is 1000 GB over the course of any given billable month. If you exceed the fair usage cap for data on more than two (2) occasions in any calendar year then Vodafone may terminate or suspend your Gigabit Broadband Service. Vodafone will proactively contact you in advance of any suspension or termination." You're limited with all of those 3, unless you have alternative options. And "no cap" is difficult at those speeds for any ISP, but there are some around with larger or more lenient approaches. /M

"Further to our conversation of this afternoon, I can confirm that on our FTTH 1000 service (and indeed all of our broadband services) we do not charge for exceeding any data usage thresholds. If, on the FTTH 1000, FTTH 300 or FTTH 150 services, you were to exceed 2TB total data usage in any calendar month (that is combined upload and download data figures) then your connection would be slowed to 15% of your maximum speeds for the remainder of that calendar month. So on the FTTH 1000 service about which you were enquiring, if you were to exceed 2TB data usage in any calendar month, the system would automatically limit your maximum speed to 150Mbps (the equivalent of our lowest FTTH product)."

Falcon L wrote: » A couple of questions, if I may. I'm in a very rural area. The poles have been replaced, fibre has been strung on them and distribution boxes have been fitted. Where the cable goes UG (about halfway to the exchange) there is a large roll of cable, so the UG section hasn't been cabled yet, it would seem. 1) I know every area will be different, but roughly how long does it take to get from the description above to connections being completed? 2) The OH drop from the pole to my house is a little over 50m. There is a pole about halfway, on my property. This pole has a red D on it and is very loose in the ground. Should I get eir to replace this pole ASAP, as it will be needed to carry the new cable? It could be a safety request as it really is loose. It can be pushed back and forward with ease. Thanks.
