Whats your noted distance from the exchange ?

500 M - Had an attenuation of 9 on ADSL

ED E · 18-06-2015 12:12PM

You should hit at least 70, but wait till all your neighbors get installed to see.

Praetorian · 18-06-2015 12:48PM

One or two more installations will definitely bring the speed down. I think I was the first install on my cab way back when and the attainable pre vectoring was insanely high...I think maybe 140m/bit IIRC. Keep checking your stats over the coming weeks.

Will keep an eye on it - how do I check the attainable speed on a vodafone modem.

dbit · 18-06-2015 01:05PM

I will know my line atten later tonight or possibly tomorrow when line goes active . Thought i would get more than 40 @ 300-350 meters hope to christ she doesnt nose dive like preatorian has reported. ( I jump from 17 MB to 20MB at the new address but no modem hooked up to read the stats )

griffzinho · 18-06-2015 07:09PM

I currently get 17MB from a 24MB direct from exchange ADSL connection.

My line checker for fibre says my download on fibre wil be 12MB. Surely this cannot be correct can it?

It can and that was the quoted speed another user got when he enquires about fibre.

kenny111 · 18-06-2015 09:56PM

anybody seen this situation before, my line went active on monday 25mb down and 7 up, i placed the order and have an install date of next week, i just checked the number again and it is now saying 50mb down.

Im currently getting 14MB from ADSL and the line checker for fibre says 7MB max is all I'll get

I'm synced at 15 mbit with adsl and I can now get 12 mbit efibre. I'm not sure if I should switch or not. At the moment I do experience some congestion in the evening so maybe it would be worth the switch.

I'd definitely take a gamble on it. Likely you will get better upload speeds and the 12 figure could be conservative.

ClonNGB · 19-06-2015 11:16AM

My line showing efibre available direct fed in Clonakilty.

Phoned up and said it is available on 15th of July. First time to get a data rather than vague 'by the end of the summer'.

It is estimated as being good for 40Mb

BuzzG · 19-06-2015 12:13PM

How far are you from the exchange ClonNGB?

As crow flies, 500m. but line attenuation of 14 indicates cable must be going around 1 km.

dbit · 19-06-2015 08:24PM

Id say if around 1 km you could be looking at 25 - 30 .

jay93 · 20-06-2015 04:09AM

I finally can get efibre from my exchange , I'm just over 1KM from it they said my max speed will be 25Mb not bad .

griffzinho · 20-06-2015 06:08AM

My line attenuation is 18.2dB and and I'm getting 17 from 24MB.
As crow flies I'm 750 metres from exchange and engineer confirmed that the line takes a fairly direct route from exchange.

Surely 12MB maximum on efibre is a joke. I should be looking at 25MB??

Isnt the minimum under the NBP 30MB ?

How would that work out in reality ?

When the NBP comes into force, the minimum in the intervention areas (amber in the map) will be 30Mbps.

The areas not covered by the NBP (blue on the map) are covered by existing service providers who are providing a service - but I do not think that they are required to meet the 30Mbps minimum.

Areas with eFibre or getting it in future are excluded from the NBP, see the map http://www.dcenr.gov.ie/communications/communications+development/national+broadband+scheme.htm

The NBP specs only refer to specific areas not already covered by commercial companies. He has BB available to him so he wouldn't be covered by the NBP.

I'd say by the time the NBP is implemented we'll all be on FTTH.

This was one of the points raised by the lads from Munster Broadband and BBNet on Limerick 95FM earlier this week, there will be situations where connections in the blue areas could be on lower speeds than those in the surrounding NBP amber areas and under current plans the supplier is solely responsible to upgrade those urban areas.

You could have a choice of either Eircom or Siro fibre to the home before the NBP even starts depending on where you are located. Eircom are doing 66 towns, Siro 50 towns and both are already started.

I believe it's a line ID number. A kind of fake phone number.

I think You are right. It is an ID for an address . I am expecting more answers from experts

ED E · 21-06-2015 12:42AM

Its the ARD key, specifies the address/residence within an address.
