If the property is connected but not appearing as enabled on their website, you need to get a hold of the property id (think that was the term). Give that to Sky or whoever and they can progress the connection.

im with vodafone, moving into new build in a months time, if i check siro it shows as not there, theres few ftth boxes for eir live etc in the area and if i check addy for vodafone it gives me speeds of 85mbps so no clue if its still considered fiber etc just 100mb one or would be a phone line more likely.

Guessing here somewhat but it feels likes the VF website is giving you a view on what is available from Eir or elsewhere.

Try to get a hold of the Property ID and give Vodafone a call. I had to do it with Sky - property eventually appeared as passed on the Siro website a month later.

Once you have a safe easy route won't be an issue, I got my attic floor and prepared with cabling so was ease for them, but generally they install where u want

I think this advert from a broadband provider is a small bit misleading.

No faster broadband in Ireland

With speeds of up 1,000 megabits per second, you will never need to worry about slow internet again. Gigabit broadband is the ultimate online experience.

A new kind of internet

Fibre optic cable straight into your home - no sharing - so whether you're working, gaming or streaming you won't lose connection.

Never miss a moment

With your own personal fibre link, your family can connect worry-free across all their devices.

What's the difference between 150mb and 500mbps?

oscarBravo

350Mb/s?

Seriously: not a lot in terms of day-to-day experience.

A bit, but if upload speeds are in proportion, a lot.

150/30 vs 500/50.

Got word from Siro that the Harbour in Greystones should be connected in the next 2 weeks, and available to order in June.

Happy with that, although expecting a couple of months lead time after order to actually get the installation done going by this thread and others.

Virgin have bumped my bill by €4 and allowed me to cancel without penalty. I’m looking at digiweb gigabit up/down and noticed they have upped their cap to 3TB. Does anyone know how strict they are? And if they throttle torrents? I have a large and growing collection of Linux ISO’s.

How are people's experiences with Pure Telecom on the SIRO network? I'm weary to switch to them as I've never heard of them but Vodafone are after bumping my price from €45 to €60 for 1Gb

Cant say what they are like on SIRO but have been pretty good on the eir network

I failed to find a page on their site giving costs for 1Gb/s broadband ...... only found "up to 500Mb/s"

That must be a mistake because we're on the 1gb package for 40 euro a month

Both Openeir and Siro listed up to 500

500Mb is €35 and 1Gb is €40. There's a mistake on their site, it says 500Mb twice.

Edit: This was from their customer service.

The page I linked has one Siro and the other I guess is Openeir.

No 1Gb/s listed on any page I can find.

This is from Bonkers.ie but they definitely do offer 1Gb.

Does anyone know what the Pure router is like? I'm not familiar with Technicolor as a brand.

Ah, okay. They're pretty good I've heard.

I'm with pure and I couldn't fault them really. Fritzbox is grand, and the broadband has been pretty excellent so I've had very little to do with pure themselves. If they're offering you the best price, then I'd say go for it.

Hey folks, looking for a bit of help troubleshooting. Had to unplug my siro box and modem to put in a new hallway cabinet. Plugged everything back in and am now getting no internet. Siro box is showing power and pon lights lit up, but nothing for lan. Any ideas??

Hey dudes,

Sorry if these questions have been answered before but seeing as I can't search a thread I'm not inclined to wade through all 250 pages of this thread.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with getting SIRO to an apartment? I'm in a pretty large apartment complex with 10+ buildings. How does it work when it comes to apartments?

Also have people noticed much improvement to their service since getting it? Right now I'm on the basic 100MB fibre to the cabinet package and I am legit getting extremely close to the advertised speeds (the cabinet is like 10metres from my patio doors). So far I've had zero problems with the service I'm getting or the speeds.

Thanks!

They attach a box outside (for you and other neighbours connections) and run you a cable from that to another box inside your apartment, drilling a single hole through the outside wall.

You'll probably notice the difference, even the 150mbit should be a bit better just because of the upload speed.

Apologies if this has already been asked, I wasn't able to find anything using search.

We had SIRO engineers survey the estate last week, does anyone have an idea of when we could expect to have a connection? We are not in a town mentioned on the website for future network build.

I appreciate this is a "how long is a piece of string" type question, just looking for a ballpark timeframe

Thanks

From survey, not sure. Ballpark 1 year from when you see them digging up pavements.
