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?

Seems most of the thinking is done in here any way.

Well,do you care to provide a guesstimate for Eircom ftth prices?

I guessed someone would ask that.

I sort of already did here:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057315844&page=10

But I'd guess from Eircom about €56 to €60 for 150/30 and about €70 to €80 for 1Gb/s

Also probably a big install fee of about €200 or so.

Just guesstimates based on the published wholesale prices and how they compare to the FTTC wholesale/retail prices.

I had to read the list of the towns 10 times over, and magically hoped for my town to appear somewhere on the list, where the corner of my eye might have possibly missed ayyyyy

Make sure and register your town on the website if you want it to be considered forms faster roll out. If a load of people register for one town you can be sure it'll get bumped up the list

From the Siro FAQs:

We will start construction and pass the first premises in June with services offered by broadband operators to customers in autumn. Due to commercial sensitives, we will announce specific timelines for individual towns closer to the date.

Not much info on the site that we didn't already know.
