Broadband in Galway

bindybandy

Anyone know if the cables laid during the Summer in Galway city supposedly for Broadband are going to be tied into a service at some point soon? nobody I speak to seems to know anything about it?

Cheers

/me gets a 200m extention rell, a Kango hammer and a fibre terminator....

I assume it's for enterprise-class connections? Possibly a MAN?
Government provided or leased out to telcos?
Could give GalwayWAN a shot in the arm

well no actually , its a fairly chilled concept.

1 . You live in the wilds of Newcastle but 50m from the fibre.

2. The college is 1000m away in the less wild bits of Newcastle, the fibre passes thru a bit of the grounds ISTR

3. You LEASE 1000m from the hatch near your crib to the hatch in the college. That works out at €1.20 per metre per annum to the MAN people. You only need to figure out how to get the fibre to the hatches at both ends.

4. You light both ends with GBIC connectors plugged into an ethernet switch that can take them .

5. Presto , 1Gbps from your crib to the college. Cost €1200 per annum.

6. Sub 1 MS pings and Game On I should think

(you may also need a licence from Comreg for €50 per annum )

That would be sweet, and would also require the annexing of Computer Services and the HEAnetNOC....
