    Hmm... "unveiled"... does this mean they are going to just mention it again and list the first number of towns/cities? Or will we be able to order it on that date and actually get it for maybe perhaps August/September?

    In not sure but the indication was that after the launch on the 14th the retailers would have prices up, I don't know if that means you can order it tho

    Their having a panel discussion on Thursday at the launch event. It's obvious from their panel that nobody in Ireland knows a thing about Fibre!!!

    They will be offering GPON services with a global split ratio of 1:32. This info comes from their Twitter feed.

    https://twitter.com/poweredby_light/status/598075781877735424

    It will be interesting to see which areas will be selected for rollout on Thursday. Let's hope it is well spread and not confined to a specific region or county. Being a bit selfish here but I hope Maas is one of them.

    Hopefully it does not translate to running around after a monster all night long.

    I'm not expecting much in the way of information to be honest. Certainly not prices or confirmed speeds etc.

    Well Eircom have already announced speeds and prices *, so I don't see why they wouldn't give some idea too.

    * Wholesale prices, but it is easy to workout what retail prices are likely to be based on the wholesale/retail prices of FTTC.

    Eircom wholesale are spamming the hell out of their twitter followers this morning. Trying to take the edge off ESB/VFs launch methinks.

    eircom wholesale's last tweet shows their "fibre rollout map".

    That shows cabinets in Dublin road in Drogheda as 'fibre live'. I suppose they are referring to FTTC in that instance, right? They haven't wired any estates in Drogheda to FTTH, have they? It's a bit confusing when they tweets 4-5 times about 1 GB access in various towns and then show a map that shows "fibre live". If I am reading this correctly eircom only expects to wire FTTH to homes by 2016...

    Looking forward to what ESB-Vodafone has to say today. I hope they have more concrete plans and exact details than vague suggestions or plans.

    PS: Found Eircom's first 16 places from a link on the other thread (http://www.businessandleadership.com/business/item/50358-eircom-appoints-huawei-as-f). They include Drogheda. Nice.

    The odds are Eircom are going to potentially win this battle. With their announcement of rollout of FTTH to 19 areas by August (most of which are part of the ESB rollout) it will be interesting to see what areas ESB announce at 11am and once done how quickly will the ISP's update their websites with pricing, etc.

    I hope they keep to the time frame as my town is one of the 16 would be great if we had access it by august

    You would think that ESB would rollout in areas Sitcom aren't because Sitcom would have rolled out FTTC already making it easier for them to rollout FTTB?
