    Just a follow-up on Rathodown Park finally getting Fibre...

    Sky and all other companies quoted 90mb speed. Contacted and getting 65mb.

    3 weeks of bad and forth with its a bad line, its your box, dont use an extension, its your alarm..

    Ultimately, the line could only take 65mb even though the cabinet is so close, non vectored line etc...

    So be aware, the speed you are quoted may not be the speed you get and it could be 10s of mbs difference.

    When is Virgin media kicking in?

    When they've completed the over head wiring I believe. I just noticed the civils by La Touche/Rathdown Pk triangle when I was last visiting the family home.

    FWIW, I asked the guys currently working for Virgin Media at the entrance to Rathdown Park how close Virgin were to going live in Rathdown Park. They said it would be live and available in 2 weeks.

    I have no idea if they're right, but they are well placed to know.

    Some of Rathdown Park now has live Virgin Media, but areas near the entrance are not yet connected.

    But how about this: I discovered a few days ago that Vodafone now provides 100Mb e-fibre in Rathdown Park (previously only some houses), so I contacted them. Vodafone, contrary to the assurances when they were advertising this before the cabinets were installed, simply did not inform us or upgrade the connection.

    When I contacted them about this, know what they said?

    ‘We’ll upgrade you when your contract expires on 30 June.’

    Know what they said when I mentioned their assurances?

    ‘We’ll upgrade you when your contract expires on 30 June.'

    Know what I said?

    ‘No, you won’t, I’ll be moving to Virgin!’

    Anybody know why I can only get 10meg Stone Age broadband in Redford Park when there is a live cabinet 200m from my front door?

    Probably because your line was put in before that cabinet.

    This. Similar to my family's situation the auld man had a line heading straight to the eir Exchange behind the old post office (parcel office).

    He ended up getting Virgin Media when they added the cabinets in Rathdown Park. Have VM done any work in Redford?

    Church road, Victoria road, Trafalgar road (that general area - even the new houses in the harbour) are all directly connected to the exchange - no local fibre cabs available and Eir have no plans to provide any more in the area - am aware of an individual premises on Beach road (former residential now commercial) that had a direct internet connection installed on fibre - the install costs and monthly rental would be multiple of fibre broadband.  Option to get 'fibre broadband' is available but this entails a jumper cable at the switch in the exchange only - you might get an extra 2 or 3 megs and you will pay ~€75 a month for the privilege.
    Might be a good idea to get with your residents association and approach Virgin - if there are enough potential business they may see Redford as  commercially viable  - they have done some work up on Trafalgar road for groups of houses there and other pockets of houses as far as I know.
