    hi folks, would i be correct in thinking that at at distance of 800M from the nearest FTTC CAB , expected speeds would be 15-20M download and about 3-4MB upload, at best?

    Heres a funny story. eircom used to do Tie Lines (private wires) , eg you had an office and leased copper point to a sister company perhaps 2 miles away ( or home from the shop at night). This local authority had a tie line in a town.

    eircom said they would no longer do tie lines and ( c 1996 or 7) and the council went spastic at the extra cost of everything switching through and billed. eircom also promised centrex services around that time and never rolled them out either just like they never finished their ADSL Rollout announced in March 2007.

    The Area Manager was retiring around that time and was sympathetic to the council, he suggested the council install their own fibre in the very duct where the tie line was. One weekend they did precisely that. There were some teething issues as 1000base-SX commodity gear was restricted to 500m distance.

    eircom have never noticed this fibre right up till this very day...and anyway sure didn't their own area manager personally install it back in the day when the council complained about losing their tie line.
