Newly-upgraded Exchanges

gombín · 16-09-2003 3:07pm #1

Lads,

Macroom & Newmarket (Co. Cork) ready to go.

Regards.

could a Mod maybe merge the infamous 'ashbourne' thread with this one so that there's one "newly enabled exchanges" thread?

rymus · 16-09-2003 8:28pm

*shakes head in a mentally tired fashion*

Macroom & Newmarket... Id love to see a copy of that Eircom rollout strategy. Maybe some bright spark in a conference piped up with "Right lads, what say we upgrade exchanges in every backwater in Ireland, then our 'dismal DSL takeup' story will hold water with the consumers."

*insert very pissed off statement about Carrigaline DSL here*

Well done Eircom, you're proving to the masses that you have the management skills and collective IQ of bum fluff.

Unbelieveable

While Caherdavin exchange in Limerick remains undone. What's more infuriating is being given no timeframe whatsoever apart from "sometime this year" which I suspect is what I'll be told next year

Gombín man, is there anyway/anyone who can give an expected "enabled" date?

gombín · 16-09-2003 10:04pm

Kramer,

Next few weeks. I'll keep you posted.

Regards.

Excellent stuff

Would be great to have it (or know for certain it's due) before mid October - satellite contract (3 monthly) is up for renewal then.

Thanks Gombín.

great to see lots of cork exchanges being done recently

spongebob · 16-09-2003 10:54pm

Gombín collects pints on his travels you know....apart from the savage mileage he pockets

gombín · 16-09-2003 11:03pm

pete · 17-09-2003 11:36am

gombín,

any idea what the situation is with having your line moved from your existing DSL enabled, but very far away exchange to a physically nearer and soon to be DSL enabled one?

I just don't have the stamina to go through the 1901 mill on this one...

joe90 · 17-09-2003 11:50am

Gombin no problem, but Murphy's could never get use to stout being from Nz.Love rum and coke:D

gombín · 17-09-2003 12:30pm

Pete,

Can be done allright. PM your exchange details and I'll send you on the right road.

Regards.

Caherdavin (Limerick) about to become "live".

spongebob · 29-09-2003 11:00pm

How many pints did it cost you in the end?

We need to know

Kramer · 29-09-2003 11:03pm

I think I got Gombín a little too drunk - he seems to have "missed" this one

gombín · 30-09-2003 10:49am

Kramer,

Not at all. Still hasn't been completed. I'll give you a nod when it's done.

Regards.

fabien · 30-09-2003 12:08pm

gombín, thanks for all that information. Pity we have to rely on you, but we have no choice...

Can I ask you about Roscrea, Co Tipp, is there any plan to upgrade the exchange there to ADSL, and if so when?

Thanks

gombín · 30-09-2003 12:39pm

Fabien,

No date as yet.

Regards.

machalla · 30-09-2003 1:32pm

No doubt this is a silly question but...

What exchange is Kildare Town on? I've heard of this Robertstown exchange somewhere around Newbridge. I presume Kildare Town is more than large enough to justify its own exchange as well?

Just to get an idea of when (or if) DSL will be available in Kildare Town.

Thanks.

thegills · 30-09-2003 1:48pm

Gombin,
I saw about 5 sets of eircom vans at various points on the road from Limerick to Killaloe, any chance they are preparing for DSL??
thegills

Any word on Castletroy, Limerick also??

De Rebel · 30-09-2003 7:27pm

Gombín

eta for

................Skibbereen, Co. Cork?

................Dunmanway, Co. Cork?

Thanks

gombín · 01-10-2003 9:46am

Machalla,

It has its own exchange allright, but no date at the moment for upgrade.

Regards.

Many thanks Gombin.

Proxima123 · 01-10-2003 3:48pm

Hi gombin,
any idea if there are plans to upgrade the Kiltullagh exchange in Co. Galway?

Thanks

gombín · 01-10-2003 10:49pm

G.

A repair crew, more than likely, I would say. Castletroy is already done?

Regards.

Rebel,

Nothing in the pipeline for the time-being I'm told.

Proxima,

I had to check that one on the map- wasn't too sure at all where it was. Unless you're on the Athenry exchange it'll be a while I'd say. even at that, I'd still say it's about 5/6 miles to Athenry, which would put it beyond the range of the products eircom offer at the moment.

Regards.
