    similarly, does anyone have a list of which exchanges were upgraded during 2008, or which ones still have to be upgraded?

    The website I linked shows all currently enabled exchanges. The PDF that hjr gave, shows them in text.

    Yes, but in the list I gave, the list of exchanges to be enabled have more specific timeframes, e.g march 09 as opposed to 08/09 as list with eircom. I was just wondering how accurate the timeframe was..

    those all seem to just show which exchanges are ENABLED, what i'm looking for is exchanges that were UPGRADED, ie. exchanges that had already enabled, that received speed upgrades during the summer by eircom.

    eg. 3mb -> 7.6mb.

    at the time they were upgrading different exchanges in phases, but still had plenty left to upgrade last time i checked...

    Wouldn't believe any of it till you see the exchange actually done. eircom time has never been the most accurate.

    could you provide some source for this?

    my exchange was constantly in the "post-September" phase, and have never seen any mention of it, or others that were due to be upgraded, receiving those upgrades, especially as the upgrades were postponed in between phases.

    my line is stuck on a solid 3mb connection, with quite good line stats, being able to support up to 8mb.
    someone down the road is in the same boat, which is why I have my doubts that anything was done with the local exchange.

    Donadea exchange btw.

    I can't find a similar list on eircom, but wondering how accurate this list is.

    Thanks

    Just an update, got this from Eircom this morning:

    Thank you for your recent enquiry to www.broadbandAtoZ.ie. We apologise for the delay in responding to your query. This was caused by a technical error which has since been rectified.

    Having consulted with our network engineers, I can confirm that the current provisional schedule for the enablement of the Ballinafad exchange is for the period April – June this year. This broadband roll out schedule is a provisional schedule and is therefore subject to change.

    Please check www.broadbandAtoZ.ie for regular updates on broadband rollout across the country

    Just an idea, but maybe people who have got responses back like this can post them up to keep other people updated.

    Sorry, but WTF is this Broadband at Oz.ie? Or is it some weird jargon? Broadbandtaytos?
    Ive seen the website bing discussed here without the name being brought up, didn't the aussies buy eircom? If its because of the aquisition then IMO its a very idiotic name for an IE service/product.

    Broadband A to Z

    as in from A-Z

    still a completely made up name in fairness.

    Donadea exchange btw.

    you are right, the speed increases were not completed, because eircom had still to upgrade the capacity on some of their exchanges to support this. I am told that the next batch of speed increases will happen on the 5th of March. And Ghostdancer, I can also confirm that Donadea is on the list.

    After that batch are done, there are a few more left and I understand that they will be upgrading those each month from now on as the exchanges are upgraded, with all of them expected to be complete by May or June this year.
