National Broadband Ireland : implementation and progress

Oh Jaysus I hope they will be able too supply it 😱 we will see tomorrow morning 😂 I’ll ask the engineer tomorrow what they use in Vodafone. Hopefully you will change soon 🤞🤞

Was supposed to have my NBI order installed today with eir but heard nothing

Waited almost 2 months

Very disappointed and I think I'll cancel and head else where.

They put a DP on the pole with the loop the other day. So the loop is gone now too 👍 progress

Saw TLI working in a duct outside the the Tipp Town plaza this morning. If they're still pulling fibre (even if they're that close to the exchange), I can't see them hitting the March 21st 90-day pre-order deadline.

Honestly this, there's still ducting at various parts just wound up at the bottom of about 3 poles along the N24 after Monard, 2 outside of Monard and 1 outside of Oola.

Circet came out today to install the broadband. Find out that we need a pole to come across from the box literally directly across the road 20 meters from the house. Need to put in an order for a pole to be placed in the garden.

Some how feel NBI could have taken houses into consideration when they were "planning layouts". Frustrating, must wait a while longer now.

Out of curiosity, is the house a bungalow?

It's a pity that can't ask 2 simple questions during the order:

1. Is the DP pole located on the opposite side of the road to the premises?
2. Is the house a bungalow?

Answering yes to both of the above should raise flags on the Circet side of things.

If the DP pole is new (not replacing an existing pole), then it wouldn't have been part of the original survey I guess. I know when they came to my house, they just asked if our existing telephone wire came to the house via duct from the road (it did). I'm dreading the day they finally come to install as I've no idea what state the duct is in and rooting it up would be a massive job.

Yes, premises can be moved from one DA to another

I am with airwaves existing wisp product, and have tonsay they offer an excellent service within the constraints of fact it is a wireless network, so will probably stick with them when switching to fibre.

Ultimately it is, but NBI can decide that they will connect your premises via fibre to a different exchange, and hence DA. (Even if you had a copper phone line that already connects to a different exchange). I'm not certain of the reasons a DA change might happen. Others on here may be.

Open-eir's fibre network is based around its legacy copper network of maybe around 1,000 exchanges (don't know the exact figure).

NBI can be more efficient with infrastructure as they are starting from scratch and only require 227-230 exchanges for their nationwide network with a mix of enet and open-eir exchanges.
