It'd be nice to cross check this against the crowdsourced map as lots of cabs are way off...

It'll take me a while to do Carlow Town but it's useful alright.

I did Carlow Town today. Adding 16 new VDSL cabs.

Quick edit: The Beech Road cabinet doesn't seem to exist. Same with Browneshill Wood. These are both half built estates, or look that way anyway.

There probably is a Shamrock Square cabinet but I couldn't find it.

The other Carlow cabinets are a) out a very busy road I wasn't happy cycling out or b) quite far out of town.

has anyone else happened to see an eircom spreadsheet knocking around the internet with a list of all cabinets to be deployed and their gps coordinates. I stumbled across a link to it in a tech article. It has gps coodinates but they dont see to translate to real co-ordinates in the format google uses. It lists a cabinet within a km of my house thats planned and im very keen to figure out the proposed location to help find out what speed i will get

I just realised this map is getting its data from the spreadsheet i was talking about. I think some coordinates must be incorrect because in dundalk the speadsheet decribes a cabinet DDK1_005 at Bothar na Feirne, Blackrock, Dundalk (KFC Roundabout) and this map shows the DDK1_016 finnabair cabinet as been 300m away from it at the next roundabout to kfc beside dunne stores rather than been in kfc. If this is correct it means that about 200+ houses on the blackrock road including me will be left without efibre because it will be more than 1km from the cab. There is a voice cabinet already beside dunnes so i wouldnt put it past eircom put 2 cabs next to each other and leave half of the ida industrial estate and a bunch of houses on the blackrock road without efibre. Whats more frustrating is that we're all on 2mb broadband because were connected to dundalk exchange 5km away and badly in need of a speed increase.

I used the map in Carlow Town and it was generally very accurate apart from 2 that plain didn't exist.

Mgit

added 2 new cabinets in dundalk. One in muirhevna dublin road and another in glenwood dublin road.

jca

This is the cabinet outside the Community Workshop in Enniscorthy.

Added another 2 cabinets in dundalk, cluain enda on st alphonsus road and one behind medabawn on avenue road

Yes it's a cabinet but that's a "line terminating" cabinet...aka an old fashioned one and not the one you are "looking" for...

What do these "north coordinates" and "east coordinates" mean? Can I enter these into a map for the location of a cabinet? If so, how?

They are Irish grid references, they need to be translated to latitude longitude pairs for mapping purposes, someone had them all mapped but the links were snipped...

I suppose it was too embarrassing for eircom to expose how awful their mapping procedures were...

When I used the map in Carlow they were in the main very accurate.

it's about 80% accurate there's a huge cluster up in northern Ireland, some out in the sea both east and west and others just way off...

If only we could visualize it...we'd spot the errors in a few minutes

I'm not disputing that there are inaccurate ones. Just sharing my experience of using the map, finding them on google street view and then checking them for VDSL cabs in person.

syboit

new vdsl cab in glounthaune accross from the church carpark. The old dsl cab is accross the road from it though, I would have thought that they would have to be close to each other.

Ok so i had an Eircom Engineer in my house today for a different matter and i was talking to her about eFibre.

First off she uses the maps here!

I mentioned the boards thread and she was like oh yeah i use that all the time! haha

Anyways she told me my cabinet number which according to Google Maps is 1KM away.

The cabinet which i taught i was on is only 300m away from me following direct roads.

Do you think there would be any way possible for them to change my cabinet? Or is that wishful thinking.

Got a reply from T.D who queried the launch date of fibre services for Ballinasloe

Apparently the area will go live late October/Early November
