Could that be the wireless card?

Mine is fairly old, bout 5 years old I think, gets around that also AFAIK, and my old phone gets different from my Nexus 4...

One other thing to check is if you have win 7 make sure your on service pack 1 with windows update..

I had a guy from Eircom knocking on my door yesterday. He confirmed that Rush is going live in August. Can't freaking wait!

Its ok ask away ive calmed down a lot since yesterday. it was a no show there an absolute disaster ive cancelled it alltogether with them as i just cant deal with them anymore 4 appts and 4 letdowns !!

Ive booked it with vodafone cant be dealing with eircom anymore. Great that so many did get sorted though the vans were whizzing around all day i even stopped one to ask if he had us down for an install and he knew nothing about it despite all the confirmation emails calls and texts leading up to yesterday.

Ah ffs, that's ridiculous. Did they offer an explanation or an apology?

You ex doesn't work in Eircom or anything like that ;p

As someone about to venture back into Eircomland after a long hiatus, this scares me...

just back from my holidays with no internet access, can anyone verify when Lusk is going live?

Sorry for your troubles man, that's a load of sh1t, no matter what 3rd party provider you go with its still gonna be an Eircom / KN engineer out to do the install....

We had an Eircom lad for our Magnet install ...

I must see them at least 3 times a day installing around Balrothery, I'd say its gone quiet as everyone is too busy downloading... ;-D

I live in ballyboughal and the broadband is S**t! top speed is 2mb !

Any word or whisperings about the cabinet at "The Leas" crossroads on the Brackenstown Road in Swords being connected / charged / wound up / batteries installed / whatever the term is?
Fibre was pushed late last year along the road but by all accounts the cabinet is not live.
My dream is to drive past it some day and see a nice man with a van and a little tent beavering away

Whispers

Just checked my number on Eircom's website and got so excited when I got this message:

'Congratulations! Your home can get our best value efibre broadband bundles'

I was so excited I had to run to the bathroom at work, in case there was a little accident.

However! I rang them and when they checked my number, they said it wouldn't be available until late August! Seems the exchange has been upgraded, but fibre to the cabinet still needs to be done.

Eircom, I'm not angry with you, I'm disappointed!

I'm in Chapel Farm in Lusk.

Im in lusk checked on saturday and got the same result, I completed the online form.
I spoke to someone in Eircom this morning its going live on the 28th August fingers crossed

Neil_Sedaka

Just off the phone to eircom and was told that Rush is going live on August 28th.

Free upgrade but the 18 month contract scares me a lot.

I think I'll take my time and see who has what to offer in September/October

gildan

In Lusk too, got same response from Eircom, 28 August is the day it's going live. I completed online form weeks ago, lets see how long it takes before installation dates are given out.

Hang on! If you get the free upgrade you have to sign a 18 month contract? Didn't know that. That'll seriously make me think twice about going with Eircom.

Gumble01

im in rush eircom took my order today said engineer will be in touch within 10 days cant really see that happening, they did get me to confirm i was going into an 18 month contract didn't mind as the bill will still be the same

its direct debit only aswell.

Whispers

I'm contemplating moving house in the next few monhts so a new contract scares me. Only thing is, where I'm moving to has eFibre, so I might be able to move my account.

Daft question, could a lay man do the upgrade themself?

Not unless you have a key to the fibrebox around the corner from you and are a dab hand at rewiring telephone sockets....

Its not a simple matter of sending a router out and having you set it up.... as it would be for standard DSL....

Whispers

Right then, I'll put away the hammer so

eircom allows you to move services from one address to another within your contract period. At lease it does for phone and ADSL broadband, I can't see why it would be different for eFibre - suggest you ask the sales agent when you phone to order your upgrade.

I'm in Balrothery

After almost 2 months, 5 orders with 4 cancelled, what seems like hours on the phone and a small campaign on eircom forum it's finally in.

Got a message yesterday to say it would be installed today and a follow up phonecall to ask was I around. Still doubted they would come but I had a day off planned anyway so it worked out well.

Attached are the before and after.
Wireless is not great but probably my devices are not great so I have things hard wired and I don't have a fancy phone.

Now if you excuse me i'm going to lie down, it's been a long long journey...
