Eircom eFibre availability checker

Gonzo

hey guys
just wondering how accurate is Eircom's eFibre availability checker. The map says that my exchange area is due for efibre October-December of this year. When I enter my broadband number into the checker on eircom's website it says that my number will receive an upgrade for efibre October-December. How accurate is this checker? Does this checker just say this for every number thats connected to an exchange?

I have seen the recent spreadsheet that is going around and the nearest cabinet to me is a good 1.5-2km away from my house. Ive read that efibre speeds are really poor at this distance. Do eircom offer eFibre to lines that are up to 2km away and further?

Hi Gonzo

Even though the checker says efibre availability in your area between October and December it will more than likely be next January before the cabinets are actvated. I too live in an area that comes within this time frame and was told by Eircom when I contacted them that our cabinets will be activated then and that they will notify me in writing beforehand

ah cool thanks, makes sense there is very little if any work started in Dunshaughlin, the old cabinets are just numbered with blue paint and hte ground beside it marked again in blue paint with same number. No sign of any fibre cabinets or streets being dug up yet.

Hi Gonzo,

Is that a spreadsheet listing cabinet locations? Would you mind sending it on to me or posting a link please?

Cheers

Gonzo

I dont have a copy of the spreadsheet at all, I did see it earlier in July and just copied the locations of the Dunshaughlin cabinets from it.

Pop in phone shops that are advertising eircom, they have private software to check availability and line strengths, but not dates.
Spreadsheet is 2 months out of date, PM me if you still want it tho, against rules to share it here.
