The Tale of Tullyallen Broadband

Go to any providers website line checker and put in your number, it should tell you “speeds up to 100mb available”

Verified by a Vodafone customer this morning.


Edit.. who successfully ordered with an install date early next week..

Just checked Gleann Alainn on EIR and its speeds up to 100 MB

Anyone using Imagine "5g Ready" in Tullyallen?

Swore I would never go down that road but looking unavoidable now. Supposed to be a disaster at peak times?

I’m looking at it as there doesn’t seem to be a better option but they want a 24 month contract, not prepared to sign up for that long. Looking online it seems very poor at peak times

i called imagine too, they said there is nothing in writing that they can provide to help exit however when I pushed they said they could provide a transcript of the phone call where she said it shouldn't drop below 80. If there is an issue they need time to investigate and rectify which is understandable however I do need a clear process to allow exit if needed.
I'm struggling with the 24 month contract, if you opt to exit early she said you are open to the full 24 months worth of billings

It took a long time for them to listen but it looks like the national broadband plan have eventually updated their map to exclude houses in Tullyallen that cannot get high speed broadband, previously they were showing as an area that can be supplied with high speed broadband

Thanks for reaching out to the team at NBI.

Using the Eircode provided we can confirm that it is in the Intervention Area and will be provided with the infrastructure required for future-proofed high-speed Fibre-to-the-Home broadband and anticipated date for connection is between October 2021 - March 2022.

Since January 27th, National Broadband Ireland contractors have surveyed over 150,000 premises in 26 counties in twelve months. NBI are updating the map on our website and are providing roll-out information on social media channels as we move through from surveying to the (fibre network) build/laying phases in each area.

Build works are now underway in parts of Cork, Cavan, Limerick and Galway, with the first of these connections expected in Carrigaline in the coming months. It is anticipated that 115,000 premises nationwide will be passed with the fibre network, and available for connection, within the next 18 months. See further information here: https://nbi.ie/rollout-plan/

There are 227 deployment areas to be surveyed and passed with fibre. NBI will be working in parts of all counties in 2021. We understand the vital need for access to high-speed broadband and are working with all of our stakeholders to expedite the roll-out where possible.

The Broadband Connection Point project, which includes facilities such as GAA halls and community centres in the Intervention Area with free public access to high-speed internet, is well underway, with most of the 300 facilities surveyed to date. There are now over 90 BCPs live and you can view them on the map by visiting https://nbi.ie/bcp-map/. The remaining ones will open in the coming months, and all have internal and external access.

Enabling facilities such as the BCPs at the earliest opportunity is important, particularly given the benefit they can provide for remote working, educational and other purposes. Work on the BCPs is continuing in line with the advice provided by the Government and the HSE. As the BCPs start to open they will change from orange to green and can be seen by visiting https://nbi.ie/bcp-map/.

If you sign up for updates at https://nbi.ie/eoi/ we will keep you updated on the rollout in your area.

Don't hold your breath. The dug the roads, laid cable, dug again and again around here for the past two years and still say late 2022 before live,

Looks like FTTH should be available in Tullyallen by the summer

We have waited long enough, at least the hardware is in place it’s only a matter of time 👍

Pushed out to Feb - July 2023 on the NBI website 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
