I know for sure that Ufiber works well with SIRO network, though I'm wondering if there are any active measurements in place to prevent custom devices from being connected and if there are any potential issues associated with that? As I said before, this particular terminal had been certified for Huawei OLT compatibility and works well with SIRO, I've seen it personally, and, AFAIK, the person who tested it experienced no problems at all.

Also, surprisingly, it provides less jitter (speed variations) than huawei does. And yes, it can show you useful link quality stats.

chiral_fluid wrote: » Well, I've asked digiweb in this tread, they didn't answer yet. Though I know for sure that the device itself is perfectly functional on SIRO. The question is if there are any countermeasurements implemented in the network for non-native devices.
Digiweb wrote: » Sorry just seeing this now. Up-to and including the ONT is considered Siro network rather than the retailers. In short technically it's possible but you'd need to program your ONT with the Siro credentials in order that it autenticates with the Siro network and Siro own these credentials.

CoBo55 wrote: » Any chance of my question being answered? I had signed up last March and would be connected as soon as ftth went live. If it was soon I would cancel VM as I have a window of opportunity to leave without penalty due to yet another price increase, this window closes the end of July. I'd use the fttc connection if I knew that ftth was very close to being active.

Won't have visibility of exact premises released each month until a few days before month end. We've got your PM and will let you know if we get anything firm on your Eircode.

My contract is up in a few weeks. Ive been with Vodofone, Sky and Eir. Digiweb is next on my list. But I see no reason to move. The first to give me a timeline for FTTH and ill sign a 1 year contract. Dont need the phone anymore or tv. Everything is online. So just BB. I used to have the phone as a backup. But I find VOIP a waste of time and money. Ill just use my mobile. Anyway, long story short! Can you give me an estimate?
