Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

We have rang Eir numerous times and they keep saying wait 24/48 hours and it will kick in but we are still waiting four days later. On the router we have a green light over power and wifi, DSL and Internet and have no green light. Anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks

Luckily the people that built the house had run a rope from the road through underground pipes to the house so the KN guy was able to pull the fibre in that way. It was a crap day - raining like mad- so he did all the wiring and installation inside before heading to the black box on the pole outside. Modem installed and all just need to connect up to the black box. He comes back in after 30 mins to say the blackbox was never made live and he'd log this with Eir.... here was me thinking I'd be watching HD netflix with in minutes.... He had to remove all the internal works he had done :-( Eir called today to say it would be a week before this issue with be sorted. Fingers crossed it will all come good.

enfant terrible wrote: » Hi navi Yes in the blue port. The DSL light on the modem was green when they first connected us to the fiber, it's off now if that makes any difference. Internet light was always off. We have a tickey raised three days ago now still no solution.
Allison Puny Appetite wrote: » Wow that is pretty shocking service. Did the connection ever work? Did the installer show you it working before he left? Just something for you to try. Log into the F2000. Go to Internet and click edit on GE WAN-1. Here are my settings for that. Leave your IP Protocol version as IPv4 + IPv6 with DHCP for both. I have IPv6 off but as a default it is on. How does yours compare to this?

Allison Puny Appetite wrote: » The tree cutting is the very start of the process. They will then replace defective poles, build or rebuild access chambers and install underground ducting where needed. All these things happen before any fibre cable is run so you would most likely be looking at several months for it all to take place depending on the availability of crews.
