Does anyone have any info on Midleton?.

A vodafone sales rep called to me the other day. According to him, they'll go live in Midleton in the next week or two. Sales rep though, so take that with a fair amount of salt.

Is the V9.0 June 2013 version of the eircom NGA Deployment Plan spreadsheet still the only one available?

Has an updated copy come out?

If not, is it much use ringing eircom to ask if they've a date on when an installed cab will get commissioned?

SpaceTime

Nope, I've found they don't know anything about anything really when you ring them up.

We ordered our e-fibre on the 14th of July and they haven't even given us an order number or an appointment yet.

I knew I was being over-optimistic! They seem to enjoy leading customers up the garden path.

A squeaky wheel gets no oil, I plan on making a nuisance of myself until they install it when available, Eircom have already caused me enough grief in the past anyways!

Cabinets are in a few months in Newbridge , still nothing doing ,

frustrating driving by them every evening and knowing there not activated ,

I think one or two may be in the centre of town but none out my way :mad:

There a few over by Liffey Hall, Curragh Grange, Beechmount and Greenmount - all near the Green Road side of town - that have the stickers attached, if that's what you mean by activated.

Yeah thats what I mean ,

I got our residents association here in the estate to send out an email months ago for everyone to register there interest ,

There is two Kilbelin Estates in Newbridge and I noticed there bloody cab has the yellow sticker and not ours , its the only estate along the Athgarvan road which seems to be live

I've noticed the Yellow Stickers don't really seem to mean much.

Two friends of mine are on cabinets in Cork that are totally unmarked and they've e-fibre for the last few weeks in their houses.

They might be an indication of some kind of activity, but there are plenty of commissioned cabs without them.

VF sales rep came to my door about 3 weeks ago, asked about fibre bb coming to the area (which I know is soon as cabinets are in) and she didn't have a notion, didn't really know anything about fibre....

I agree with you on this yellow stickers baloney. Personally I think its the usual Eircom half assed disorganised mess. Enniscorthy has plenty of cabinets installed, some are powered and most aren't. No house has fibre yet:mad:. Some cabinets are there since April.... Its a joke of a rollout.

Got a call from Vodafone yesterday re renewing my contract. I said that I would wait till Fibre becomes available. The nice lady checked my line & said that my line could only handle 1MB & that Fibre wasn't available yet on my line (though both the Eircom Map & Vodafone line check say I can now get it). She said that there was nothing planned yet for my line but it might take a while - though not FIVE years :eek::(:mad: Dunno where she pulled that five year figure out of but it left me speechless to such an extent I couldn't even structure a response or a question & ended the call.

Not sure if I'm hooked up to the main Tralee exchange or Killerisk (which is probably nearer but according to the Eircom map is not yet live).

Judging from the Excel Sheet that we got :P i would check for efibre in Dundalk on Thursday or Friday this week.

Rumor is the Ready for Order date on the exchange is this Thursday for Dundalk if you are connected to a new cabinet

Is this still maybe the case?

AmilcarAlho

Any word on Whitehall exchange? Eircom map shows July to September, but no cabinets popping up in the area.

The RFO date for Dundalk is 1st of August 2013 yeah according to the Spreadsheet dated June 2013 which is the latest version we have so we don't know if there have been changes since

radiospan

Can the original source of the eircom spreadsheet give us the latest version?

Do you have a list of cabinets for Dundalk and a possible go live date ?

All the cabinets I've seen looked finished and have the yellow sticker on them for at least 1 month

Donabate has been live for over a month now, so if you are living on the main street close to the cab you should be able to get it.
