    Sure what's the point in installing thousands of cabinets if they're going to be left there unused like the one up here was for months ?

    Same here. We are green (2 years behind schedule) and nobody in the village can get fibre. It's a joke. I also hope eircom have nothing to do with it.

    No doubt we'll be sharing the IPTV component with the UK, win win.

    FTTH = IPTV
    VDSL = IPTV
    Horizon/SkyOD = IPTV

    The only circumstance where it wouldnt be IPTV is if they went in as a cable provider, which isnt very likely.

    Any new updates on this roll out, when can someone expect to see this service in co.longford, in a small town where even the great national mighty eir cannot even reach us.

    10 Years living in Longford, 250k house, and no broadband infrastructure to date, and nothing planned what so ever in the nearest future

    Thats why it cost 250k not the 800k it would have cost in an area with services.


    SIRO to date have only been targeting commercially viable ares, yours likely is not. NBP will go to tender soon-ish and if they get a section (or both) you might get connected by 2020.

    anyone who payed 800k for a house is feckin insane... doesn't matter where it is... Broadband should be everywhere, not limited to cities. 2020 is way too late.

    It's not limited to cities at all. Eir have rolled out VDSL to some tiny villages and even crossroads. If you choose to live more remotely than that, it's your own fault and you should consider yourself extremely lucky that the NBP is on the cards. Very very few places on earth have high speed fixed line broadband to such premises.
