    Hi, ive heard about this before but I just seen an ad on tv saying all eircom customers get fibre upgrade when it becomes available in your area. Does anyone know when this will be available and which areas are first?

    Depends on where in D13 you are, Sutton, Howth, Bayside, Baldoyle and half of Kilbarrack is due in December, work has just started. I think Donaghmede is finished, seen plenty of finished cabs around, so it should be rolling out late may.

    check out this http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056919149 thread about the locations of the new cabs and mark them if you see them.

    does't matter how close to the exchange you are, it will depend on how close you will be to the cab in your estate, i have tried to locate existing cabs so i can add them to the map, but i haven't really had time to do a deep search through each estate.

    My estate isn't too big so id say id be very close to it. Why are you doing the searches shouldn't people at eircom be letting you know where they will be? Good work anyway letting people know. If I see any in Baldoyle ill update it. Probably none here yet as you said it would be December.

    Hi Irishmaster

    Please follow this link for information on fibre broadband rollout:

    http://community.eircom.net/t5/Service-Updates-and/eircom-Fibre-Broadband/td-p/19450

    Unfortunately we will not have any further info on availability until much closer to the launch date which we are hoping to be towards the end of may.

    Also, I'd like to thank allen175 for his help and input to this.

    Regards

    Al

    Just saw a few of these in my area Baldoyle. Marked 2 so far. 1 is about 200m from my house. Looks like I might be getting fibre sooner than I thought. :)

    Think I may have tagged some done already, didn't check the main map assuming they weren't here. But does anyone know
    when these green boxes are gonna be switched on? Do they have to be in your estate or can they be around you? I have about 4 of them all around 200m from me! :)

    Hi Irishmaster

    The efiber would need to be connected to the junction box facilitating  the address' / estate for efibre to be available.

    Thanks, Mark
