Eircom Fibre in Monasterevin
Comments

Well ive cancelled sky and ordered eircom up to 24mb, they estimate minimum 15 mb and most likely 18mb,atlast uncontended broadband.
Great! post a speed test result if you can when you'll get it all activated
And btw do you think those speeds are achievable 1 km from the main Monasterevin Exchange? 0 -

I'm 600m from the exchange , the experts in here reckon my stats suggest I should get 18mb eircom guarantee 15mb,time will tell.0 -

Just to update on this,im getting download speeds of 15-15.5 meg 15400 kbps to be precise.
Apparently they installed 15mb cards in the exchange yet charge us for up to 24 mb.
My line stats when compared to online guides suggest i should be good for 19-20mb so its frustrating to think the 15mb cards are a bottleneck
However im more than happy to be getting 15mb after so long on 3mb.

Hi all,
Finally after the long wait since starting this thread, eFibre is here. I'm approx 220m from the cabinet with Vectoring VDSL technology enabled giving me the following results
Hope it is as good for everyone else around! 0 -

I'm working Monday to Friday in Dublin, got my eFibre installed on Wednesday, I live in Ferns Bridge btw. Anyway, I called home to run speedtest and they told me 64Mb down and 17Mb up. I arrive back from Dublin today, went straight on my desktop (ethernet connection to modem) and this is the result I get
Vectoring is technology which is installed in fibre cabinets to help reduce the crosstalk on the copper VDSL 2 connection between the cabinet and your home. This allows the boost from 70Mb to 100Mb. You cannot request it, the cabinet either has it or not. But since the cabinets were only recently installed in Monasterevin, I assume all should have this technology enabled.
Also if you're testing over Wi-Fi you probably won't get over 75Mb/s0 -

Is that at the cab and would it be specific cabs?
mac.book what cab are you near?
I'm approx 220m from Ferns Bridge cabinet. If you're 100m from it you'll be looking at near 100Mb and 20Mb
Also since on Wednesday I was on 70Mb sync and now I am on 100Mb sync. I assume they enabled vectoring a little after enabling the cabinet for the first time. If your cabinet is live since Wednesday then you'll probably get 100Mb sync straight away.
Best of luck and let me know what you'll get 0 -

I'm about 100m from the supervalu cab,I just hope the engineer installs when my friend is on hand to give him access, hope he doesn't require me to be there.0 -

No worries shouldn't be a problem, it's not like they're going to ask for you ID. As long as someone opens the door for them and welcomes them in for the installations you'll be fine. You'll get at attachment on your eircom socket and a brand new standing Zyxel modem.
It has a very familiar interface. To access it just type in your default gateway, i.e. 192.168.1.254, login is "admin" , password is the default Wi-Fi password printed on your router.

Hmm not bad but this close to cabinet you should be getting 97 - 100Mb/s. Possibly the vectoring tech is only enabled after a few days, check your speed tomorrow evening again and see what you get then. On Wednesday last week I was told that we were getting 64Mb/s down and 16Mb/s up, then when I actually tested it myself Friday evening, I got 94Mb/s to 98Mb/s down and 16Mb/s to 19Mb/s up. Also can you tell me what your line attenuation stats are? You can find them on the main page of the router config. If I remember correctly my line was ~12dB Also under the 'System monitor' menu of the router you can run a test which will tell you the maximum attainable speed on your link, for me its 132Mb/s down, can't remember max attainable up speed.

Attenuation is fine, and attainable speed also. I'd say you'll be bumped up to speeds around 100Mb by tomorrow. If not you can call eircom on Monday and explain the situation to them, you're paying for 100Mb after all 0 -

Am located in the middle of Saint Evins Park so really not that far from the cab...engineer said it should be way better.
Must be a fault on the line, definitely get onto eircom support so they can run some tests for you. Might be a poorly spliced cable, faulty hardware or anything of this kind. Unless the connection to your house is that far away.
Here's a chart for reference -
