Got a call to say my install day is tomorrow between '9am and 5pm' - I foresee someone rocking up, shrugging at the long underground duct run and not coming back. Time will tell! Tbh, I had the same fear when they installed the POTS line initially, wasn't a problem then but there was pull ropes to use, this time they will need to use duct rods...hopefully they will have ones which are long enough, longest section is just under 50m

What diameter duct do you have?0 -
Combo of 10cm and 4~5cm, long run from the street (100m). These got horsed in during the house build, not really to any spec unlike a 'normal' house build which the builder would put a duct from the side of house to the street as one long run...usuallyWhat diameter duct do you have?Got a call to say my install day is tomorrow between '9am and 5pm' - I foresee someone rocking up, shrugging at the long underground duct run and not coming back.

Well good news, the guy had a 60m reel with him. So while he went to the road to check out the pole unit he left me at the duct to put in some pull ropes on the long run (50m~). Just as I was finishing that up he came back to state that the there was no light on the port on the pole!If they need long rods it won't happen, they don't carry them around
Gets pushed back to OpenEir to chase what that is. Suggested that it just needs to be 'activated', unsure if thats the case or if its a break maybe? Anyone experience that issue?0 -

With those good diameter ducts and a pull rope in situ the biggest install challenge (for underground) appears well in hand .
The “light at port” issue has come up with others on here and may take a bit of time to resolve at back end by OpenEir. But once you can get the cable 100m UG that’s a great bonus for the install.0 -

An eir sales guy called yesterday evening about 8pm trying to sell me Fibre.
I told him I already had order in. He mentioned that for some reason, my neighbours house wasn't on his list of houses to visit. He didn't know why but said he had seen it happening before. He said he would drop in and see if they might know why she wouldn't be on his list, due to her being a business account or something similiar.
Depends on your location ... not everywhere in Ireland is under snow

Eir CS. Nobody else is meant to talk to you.
No light at the optical drop:
-Not connected at OLT
-Not connected at downstream split
-Bend somewhere
-Break somewhere
Who's to know whats the actual cause. One would hope OE would have checked for reasonable RX levels at each point before going live for orders. One would hope...
Just been informed by Eir CS that the forecast date to have the issue resolved is 28/03/2018 ah well, hopefully it will be sooner 0 -

You clearly haven't seen the BBC video prognosis for Friday. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43221384
Fast forward 75%.0 -
