I don't think there is, the siro site has gone terrible, an address I know has siro installed shows as unavailable on their site.
Hi all, is there anywhere you can see a rollout map for siro? been coming to my area for nearly 3 years at this stage and no progress made. Its available about 400m away, so not like I'm miles away from it.
You'd need to invest a decent amount of bobs in hardware to actually use those speeds, with the majority of houses being completely wireless I don't see the point in aiming it towards households. It would match them better to actually finish the town's they started 2 years ago.
Siro to launch 2 Gigabit Fibre
Kilkenny getting it first
https://siro.ie/news-and-insights/irelands-first-2-gigabit-fibre-home-broadband-service/
The current network upgrade, while facilitating the launch of 2 Gigabit broadband, will also futureproof connected premises and enable them to access new start-of-the-art broadband services. The current upgrade is also underpinning the technology to support further increases in broadband speeds – up to 10 Gigabits in the near future.
I found a way to do it but turning off the super WiFi mesh extender and reverting back to older android version of gigabox app 4.4.1 apk.
Go into Gigabox router settings. Login in details should be on the back of the router itself. Switch off WiFi on Gigabox.
Siro digging estates around Glanmire Cork for the last few days
I have gigabit FTTH with Vodafone and have their gigabox router but I recently add nest wifi to the setup. Since adding the nest wifi I've had loads of issues accessing smart devices and I guess this is due to double NAT with my setup as it is. Apologies if this has been asked before but could anyone recommend a smart switch that could replace the gigabox router? I don't need anything with wifi as the nest will take care of that. Thanks
I don't think the band's can be separated on that pos router that VF use. If you're lucky enough to have ftth it is well worth it buying a decent router of your own.
Would really appreciate anyone's input on this issue actually.
I just got connected today to Vodafone siro and first thing I tried to do was log into Vodafone Gigabox Router to separate out the 2.4 and 5g SSIDs.
Even on expert settings there is no option to split out anymore and I believe this is to do with their 'super wifi' option they offering which are glorified range extenders . It's definitely helps keep speed consistent around house but I can't separate the SSIDs. I tried downloading old versions of Gigabox app on android and still no joy. This is a deal breaker for me, anyone know how to resolve?
Not really, 2.4 is better in older houses as it travels further, yes it's speeds aren't as high as 5ghz but it will be seen by devices where the 5g can't. It's always worth checking in the router settings if the networks can be separated.
Every house is different when it comes to wi-fi.Is your router set to to the 5G band.Its much better than the old 2.4gb
They had to drill a hole into house and run cabling down outside of the wall, but they did it tidy enough.
The router's WiFi is terrible for us, we live in a small terraced 2 bed house and it won't reach upstairs (have had to go down the powerline adapter route), but we've had this issue with every router we've had in this house (including virgin, eir and Vodafone non-Siro)
My eircode also says not in my area at the moment.The funny thing is I had it installed 3 months ago?
I missed out on a few weeks of siro.This fibre service is flawless.
Is installation messy? Is the Voda router adequate for the average home?
If SIRO is installed in an apartment block and someone wanted to switch to Eir, can they do so through the existing SIRO infrastructure or do Eir need to have also installed their own fibre infrastructure too?
If so, how common is it that both infrastructures/cabling will be installed in the same apartment blocks, or is it a case of SIRO got there first, so only they offer it there?
VF used to provide a static IP on their fttc and ADSL for an extra fiver a month I would give them a ring and ask if it's available on the ftth package.
Noticed a few SIRO branded contractors working on Poles and opening manhole covers in Youghal recently. How long did it take after a survey for them to connect up a town?
They've removed the ever so helpful where next on their website and now its just an address input which obviously tells me not in my area at the moment.
Do all the Siro resellers use PPPoE as a WAN connection or are there DHCP/Static providers out there?
Switched from Sky Siro to Vodafone and I was told it will be just with short interpution. Installer came in today to bring in the router and tested it, all good - 500mbps. I assume he was still on Sky connection, because 30 min after he left the internet light started flashing.
I called helpline to be told my line needs to be activated which will take 4 hours but could be up to 24-48 hours. I work from home so this is major problem for me as I've to use my mobile internet for work now which is barely managable.
Just a warning for others if you are switching and working from home, have a back up plan as you could end up without broadband for a while ..
Previously I was with Vodafone and switched to Sky, sky only posted the router and I got the text message when my service was active, Vodafone stopped working and Sky broadband went live within 5 minutes ..
Yes it is but I currently have Siri in an estate with underground cabling.
Is your estate underground cabling? that's the only reason I can see why my estate was bypassed, all the others are overhead cabling.
I'm moving to a new estate that doesn't have SIRO or Eir FTTH in Galway City. Only Virgin.
There are new houses added onto the estate further in the back and they have got Eir FTTH but the older house to front don't.
For context nearly everywhere in Galway city has SIRO. The estate next to this has it but not this one.
What would be the reason for this. It's a managed estate.
Not looking good for me unfortunately, I left VM and went to Digiweb on their fttc service which to be fair to them has been faultless. Every estate around me has gone live for ftth in the last few weeks except mine. All the vans have disappeared so it looks like my estate isn't being done. I'll probably have to go back to VM when my contract ends with Digiweb.
Was notified a month ago SIRO available in my area so signed up. Advised that sometimes ESB are required to do work preinstallation and they can be notoriously slow.
So just my luck that I'm waiting a month for ESB to come do something with a cable, all the while my existing Virgin service will expire in the coming days. Pretty sure I'll be ringing Digiweb to cancel my order and get Virgin to keep me on (for remainder of the contract, I had an out).
Pretty rubbish planning and organisation that SIRO can be offered to customers when works still need to be done that take weeks.
My estate has Eir ftth, but both Siro and Virgin are surveying to launch ftth, so we will most likely have the choice of all 3 products in the next 18 months
Yes, that is a complete joke, glad you got it sorted. I have problems with SIRO itself, often my download speed drops to under 3megs, I reset the router and all is fine. But I seem to be doing that every 5-7 days where I probably reset my Virgin router 3 or 4 times a year.
However I have no complaints about Pure Teleocm themselves, in general very nice and helpful on the phone. I asked for a reduction on my bill as I had no service for 14 days and they waved the bill for the entire month. Very good customer service from them. They are certainly doing all they can to keep me as a customer. Let's see how I feel in 10 months time when my contract is up,
Competition law would prohibit that.
So inefficient, when many parts of country still have neither. Yes I know they are both out to make money but you would think there would be some communication between them.
Finally done yesterday! Absolute joke
