    A few weeks? What the hell? That means months coming from Eircom and that's no joke.

    It says on the wholesale site that most of the cabinets will be live on the 6th of August.

    If they can't even keep two maps on the internet in sync what hope have they got for a major fibre rollout country wide, seriously.

    I'm sick of hearing the word "a few weeks". That can range anywhere from 2 to 200 weeks to Eircom. Could you be more precise? I think after a delay of over a year we're entitled to an explanation, not just the regular auto generated copy & pasted pre formatted vague response, or is that too much to ask?

    What a disgrace. This was supposed to be here last summer.
    Hi Guys, at this stage we do not have a precise date for Newcastle West. I have raised this issue with eFibre rollout as advised by Alan above. I hope to have information on this tomorrow.

    i will be eagerly waiting a response :)

    Up and running in certain parts of the town.

    Going by other threads and how it's been integrated in other towns, it could be months even a year before the whole town is on.

    Look at others threads like Wicklow etc took months for the rest of the cabinets to be turned on.

    That's Eircom for you.

    I'm in Beechwood same situation as you, cabinet is not turned on.

    There is an eircom worker going around the town now getting the cabinets ready by the looks of it, he drove straight past the one not live near the church and onto the cabinet thats near Tesco, then onto one near Paddocks getting them ready.

    Doesn't look good IMO for ones's not live

    mine is the one near the church. i would assume the final 'switching on' part is done at the exchange and not the cabinet itself. The main fibre goes to the exchange and then branches out to all the cabinets.
