Ducting

    Hello everyone.

    We live in an estate in Wicklow built in the 80's where there was no duct into the house.

    I've discovered that without this, fibre with the likes of Virgin & Siro are impossible as it's a no go area if there's no duct. We're also not in the catchment area for NBI. We are part of the fibre rollout according to the OpenEir website but it gives no timeline.

    Has anyone come across a situation where OpenEir has gone into an area and fitted fibre where there was no ducting/new ducting had to be installed? I can't imagine pulling up peoples driveways was a runner so I assume some sort of boring machine was used? OpenEir surely has an idea what they're going to do as this seems common place the more I look online.
