Eir do not seem to be interested in matching Vodafone. We prefer to go with Eir if they matched price of Vodafone Wondering any point in ringing Eir again ?

Does this mean we should be able to connect to FTTH or does this green area just indicate where is covered by the local cabinet for the VDSL connection? When I put the eircode into the checker on the eir website they quote me a connection of only 5MB. With both myself and my OH working from home at the minute this will obviously not be enough for us. I have spoken to the owner of the house across the road and he has FTTH 1GB connection to his house. I have tried raising this with eir/openeir and am getting a combo of "sorry nothing I can do" or automated replies back. I guess I am just wondering if there is anyone we could contact to look into this further, as things stand this will be a deal breaker as to whether or not we can take the house. I have added a link to an image of the map to explain a bit better than my blurb has. Any help/advice would be much appreciated though.https://imgur.com/a/lmeiC94

Lokking at the map again, given what babi-hrse said, the next most green circle to the right of your house, which I taken to be a house, is actually a fibre cabinet, so have you checked the fibre to the cabinet speed available to you? It should be around 30 mbps if the house was passed by for FTTH.

cnocbui wrote: » That seems a bit strange, it's hard to tell from the first map shot, but it would appear the house across the road from yours also wasn't included, but two further along were and that several other houses - if they are that - were missed also. Perhaps babi-hrse might have some ideas, because I'm out.

I checked the eircode of the first green house (which is about two doors up from me) on Airwire and it says FTTH is available. Checked a few others nearby and it seems to be available for them too.
cnocbui wrote: » There don't appear to be any blue dots marking houses with FTTH allocated, nor does that road have a fibre route blue line along it, so unless you deselected those in the map settings, it looks like the only type of fibre available is ADSL fibre to the cabinet.

cnocbui wrote: » Well there is a good chance that is your problem in that your house post dates the port allocation process. Earlier in in the thread it's been pointed out that there is supposed to be a process by which new build can be added, but i don't think anyone developed the process formally. Perhaps contact Comreg and ask how it can be done or contact Airwire.ie and see if thay can get your Eir code added.

I tried emailing open eir directly but received an automated reply that i'd have to check with my 'provider', but i'm currently with Imagine (and they're pretty bad lol). Does anyone know if there's a way of making this kind of an enquiry?
