10belowzero

Right my grass is cut(with nice stripe's) where was I.
Sword's , why does Sword's get everthing first - there's a secret society in the back room of the Cock Tavern or that Lord Mayor's , worse still maybe techno warrior's from the ruin's of Ryan's are abroad , aye we'll wait here in Rush/Lusk , maybe even them up in Skerries (apart from the one's in the cricket club), but we'll get fast soon , just you wait n see Swordies.

Was out for a walk today with the baby and saw a K&N networks van parked in the second entrance into Goldenridge so maybe they are starting although didnt see anyone at the cabinets when I walked by.

tbh - I hardly ever read this thread as I spend every bleedin' day working on the Swiss fibre roll-out (from an IT systems POV). The last thing I want to do in my spare time is be thinking about it in my spare time.

Anyway, I believe that I'm only a couple of meters from the new fibre cab going in here in the Hills. Bring it on! If I get good reliable connectivity I may be able to work from home a bit more.

pg17

Just saw a second VDSL cabinet being installed in Finglas area - it is at junction of Ballygall Road East and Hillcrest Park and already mapped. There is no fibre or copper installed yet. Hopefully we will see a lot more activity in the area very soon.

The cabinet seems to contain power supply with batteries, fibre device, router type device and copper termination blocks.

Anyone in Balrothery/Balbriggan switched on yet?

Gonna ring Magnet now and see can we "fire her up"....

EDIT : Said the cabinet (in Rosepark) isn't up and running yet, and they reckon it will be live on the 2nd June, they did say that the Balbriggan exchange is live though so lucky anyone who lives up in the town, again, not so lucky us out of towners....

Isn't that always the way anyway?

Hopefully though there will be some good news soon in regard to the Fibre rollout in the Ridge.

I switched to Magnet about 2 months ago as our Eircom was constantly dropping speeds, sometimes it would go as low as 10k, since we moved to magnet we are *slightly* faster than what we got from Eircom on full pelt...

Where are you roughly JJ?

I am in Ringfort, according to the map there appears to be 2 cabs, one in Balruddery Fields and one outside Rosepark...

Suppose we will have to wait til 2nd June and see what happens...

Tell me about it, it's like the dark ages!

I left 50mb in Santry in my mams when I moved here first bout 2 years ago, I was up in the town for a year or so getting 12mbps, then moved to Balrothery to a whopping 4mbps!

Are you on Eircom as a matter of interest?

With all the Eircom hassle I had the last while (line drops, router changing etc etc) we left them and joined Magnet, unlimited download and upload is fantastic for the same money as Eircom, it seems to be solid so far (one or two teething problems setting up but one phone call and it was sorted) and I can't wait for the Fat Pipe fibre....

Seems like only certain parts of exchanges have gone live.

It seems the cabinet at lispopple cross is not enabled yet either even though Ita on the swords exchange. Or the one at Leah's cross.
So no efibre for those people.

10belowzero

So the big day has come - ( missed a lot , was away over the weekend , with no b/band or pc's in sight).
I just would not like to be a customer service rep in any of the comm's company's call centres this week - it must be Bedlam.
There are bound to be teething problem's - a lot of these system's used by call centres are developed by people with no customer service knowledge , even less knowledge of human nature and not even the remotest contact with planet earth, which make's call centres the world over , the curse and bain of every day living, although they are a marvellous cure for low blood pressure.
Khannie , it's the vdsl cab that is nearest you that will make the difference.
Psygnosis , will try to find out more this week , but there are a few in Balbriggan , Lusk and Rush to be done.
Afaik all the cab's in Sword's are done and live (every cab's has to be done before an area can go live).I know how you feel hill billy - glad to hear the cab up there is done.

The Hill Billy

The cab in The Hills isn't done yet. I had an eircom engineer up on Friday as we've been having connectivity problems. He was saying that the cab is due to go in soon & only around 30m away from the house, so looking forward to decent speeds in the near future.

Map is incorrect, it's Balruddery Woods not the Fields.

June is very optimistic lads. I reckon it'll be the end of the summer.

According to the http://www.eircom.net/efibreinfo/map/ - May /June 2013 - for Balbriggan.
July/Dec 2013 for Rush/Lusk as well as Skerries/Ashbourne/Sutton/Finglas.

Yeah was just looking at that, eircom have updated the 'find out if efibre is available to you' search, which makes it more useful for us country folk without house number/street addresses, too

K&N are digging what looks like foundations at the entrance to Golden Ridge this morning.

Edit: Looks more like a trench now!

The entrance closest to the cricket club.

Hang in there!

Psygnosis

Drove in the second entrance after work and didnt notice any thing must take a walk tomorrow.

10belowzero

Psygnosis they were doing prep work for the cab there , their was 10 fibre crews working in Rush today, just did't have time to talk to them apart from they are not getting a minute - the speed they work at is massive , mucho respect - they don't wait to be told , they just Do.
New cab in place in Remont Farm est (also serve's the Forge Est)in Lusk - was up in Skerries for a minute , the Downside cab done , don't think because the hype of the launch that work on the ground is fading, it ain't.
Install's start this Thursday officially(if your company give you a time for an appt - BE THERE - install guy's will not wait).
