Knightsgate, Rush

It’s so annoying SIRO aren’t given more of the market. They have the capability to roll out so quickly but can only go to an area when the government give them the go ahead.

I guess time will tell... i can tell you it is fibre cables at the houses as I've seen the cables being spliced, and they are indeed fibre. So I presume they will be sending down 100mb down the fibre cables when its live then

I got a call today from eir to tell me that they do not know the date... but since I apperently opened account with them while placing order, they will tell me when it becomes available.

BTW did any of you give consideration to imagine.ie ? They also called me back and told me that I was eligible and within the range of their "5G ready" mast in Lusk.

Maybe it is worth giving it a try as well?

I know people who use it and say it is ok. I went with Rural WiFi as Imagine was at capacity when I was looking to get set up. I know they have more space now as more homes were able to move to Eir. Rural WiFi works well for me, just have router on window sill. Where I’m currently living I don’t need anything else to boost signal. I will bring it with me when we move if fibre isn’t set up yet.

Good day, we are going to be moving into the estate once the lockdown is over and the necessary restrictions are lifted. Builder still needs to complete the snag list. How long did Glenveagh normally take to complete the snag list, anything to look out for? I was also wondering if anyone has done splashbacks in the kitchen and if yes is there a tiler that they would receommend?

Hi everyone,

We just got our new closing date for 9th June. Delighted ! Trying to price floors. Would anyone have the measurements for the three bedrooms on the first floor in a four bed house by any chance? I roughly have the measurements for everything else I think.

Does anyone notice the tap water leaves a kind of dust/caking around sinks etc?

It’s a hard water area so you will get a limescale build up unless you install a water softener. Otherwise just keep on top of cleaning it so it doesn’t build up and remember to clean out your shower head so it doesn’t get blocked.

Just wondering if anyone has notice any small cracks appearing in the ceiling? Thanks

Has anyone got broadband in yet ? What provide has people gone with ?

We tried a few different things and a 3 SIM has actually been great for us. Signed up to their monthly sim only unlimited plan - only a 30 day contract - and bought a router on Amazon for about 100. The router is upstairs at a window and works great throughout the house for work, streaming etc.

Really unless 3 takes a serious dive in quality I would not use Eir. 3 has gone down to a very slow connection a few times since lockdown when they were doing maintenance, but it was still enough to get by for work. Friends and family have had absolute nightmares with Eir though. So will hold out as long as possible until someone else comes on the scene.

has anyone signed up to any provider of Broadband yet ? We have priced Sky but when I look on Eir's website and search with the postcode it still says broadband is not available. We are using a router with a Three sim card but have found it really a slow and dropping the last few days!

Hi,

Has anybody got broadband installed yet? I have contacted some of resellers and they are saying the cables currently in our houses are only for Fibre to the Cabinet and they would have to install Fibre to the Home at an additional cost.

Just wondering was this the same case for anybody else that's already had it installed or was talking to any of the resellers.

We got Eir installed yesterday along with 3 other houses in the Crescent. Did a speed test and getting 122.3mbps download and 28.2mbps upload on their 150meg offer. Don't know ourselves now with fast broadband at last.

Great stuff, that's very good compared to what I'm getting currently on the 3 modem, only getting about 2mbps today, which is a disaster working from home.

Do you know did they have to install new cables to reach them speeds or were they able to use the cables already there? They've told me over the phone they would have to install new cables to get over 100mbps

Has anyone been in touch with Fingal County Council enforment department about the back gardens?

In the planning documents for the estate from FCC & An Bord Pleanála all the garden walls are to be rendered on both sides as a planning condition (ie the walls in the back gardens should be rendered) and wood fencing was not to be used only block walls on all sides. When we put rendering on the garden walls on the snag we were fobbed off so going to contact the council. Just wondering if anyone else has done this already? Also lists things like the railing on the avenue shoudl sit on top of a low wall.

Here are just two of the documents stating it as a planning condition under planning F15A/0294 & F16A/0221 and it wasn't changed in F18A/0256
