    Yes it looks like this. My number doesn't go through as being fibre enabled though. But this was only installed in the last week or two...

    I'll map it.

    It'll take a while to be commissioned and go through to retail and then to be notified to all the other operators and as far as I can see they launch cabinets in tranches...so it'll be a while:)

    Thanks for plotting it

    The coordinates are 53.764034,-7.835658 I'm having issues adding.
    This is the Newtownforbes RSU (Co Longford)

    I notice on the eircom map the area is now in green suggesting fibre is already available... The thought of 70 mb broadband is delicious.

    There are 2 cabinets in the village according to eircom, those coordinates are inbetween both(I'd suggest your coordinates are correct), would it be possible for you to verify both? If so they can then be added to the map...thanks

    Just to update...

    Still not able to order the fibre even though new box is installed.

    Eircom retail were not able to provide any indication as to when this will change :/ Even though the box is in place and the info on their site says this area is enabled.

    The RSU down the road near Argos has also had a new fbire box put beside that and I tried a number of a local business there and its coming through fibre enabled.

    I contacted Eircom wholesale to query and they are currently looking into it.

    I'm thinking someone just forgot to update ordering system... There is an area in Longford town called Newtownforbes so perhaps it was confused with that.
