    Short question: What could cause the Downstream attainable data rate to drop from 36 Mb to 27 Mb.

    Currently fighting with Eircom to get the most of my lines. The first time I logged in into the modem the rate was 36 and it is now 27. So speed test results are around 17Mb.

    Thanks,

    You may not be vectored yet. My attainables dropped a good bit once other people began to be connected, and crosstalk increases.

    Also check for line faults. If you have a landline, pick it up and check for crackles - one night I noticed I was on a profile with half the bandwidth and there was a crackle on the line when I picked up the landline.

    When a cab/exchange is enabled for VDSL up to 70mb, how long till it is vector enabled?

    My local exchange was enabled for VDSL last month, anyone have a rough timeframe to when VDSL2 will be enabled? If it ever will be?

    Some cabs have been in place a long time and vectoring still isn't enabled. A new type of vectoring is required for some of the cabs. My brother and sister have long lines living in the same estate and they only get 25 x 5 & 30 x 5 m/bit. They could badly do with the vectoring boost

    Short answer, nobody knows when vectoring will be enabled on the exchange fibre, I've been told it's coming, no idea when.

    It will be the new year at the earliest. It hasn't launched anywhere in Europe that I am aware of. Ireland might be the first when it happens.

    There are a few places that have it, but no indication as to why compared to everywhere else. A safe guess is they might be test deployments.

    I know this is a bit of an old thread but I'm aware that there are many cabinets yet that have not been vectoring-enabled, incl. parts of Letterkenny and Ballybofey.

    Does Eircom mention on their website if they are still enabling cabinets for vectoring? Or have they stopped, in the hope people will upgrade to FTTH instead?

    Certain cabs are need to DPs/Exchanges/other cabs and will likely never be vectored.
