When might Eircom to enable vectoring on their eFibre/VDSL service?

Ur SNR and attainable download would increase. Ur attainable upload may increase also.

Things are definitely improving, but do remember that so far only 100,000 people have signed up for VDSL so far out if 1.2 million potential Eircom wholesale customers.

Add to that about 350,000 UPC customers and the reality is the vast majority of people (450,000 out of 1.6 million homes) are still on slow ADSL broadband.

So there is a long way to go yet for these figures to be bumped.

They're switching a lot of people though given that it's only been rolling out. It'll take about 24 months to ready bed in.

A lot of people have minimum contracts and a lot of other people have only very recently had access.

Also it's going head to head with UPC in most big urban areas.

Any further cabinets go live this weekend? I still seem to be unvectored.

Mines going live the 30th but it won't be vectored by then. Current line speed test is 70Mb!

ElNino · 03-04-2014 10:37am

Anyone know if Ennis is done yet? I got VDSL in the first week it came out and even though I am beside my cabinet and I ordered 70Mb eircom would only sell me 50Mb.

I will upgrade to 100Mb when the vestoring is done. Does this mean a new contract though?

Being next to the cabinet doesn't necessarily mean that the wiring runs directly from your house to the cabinet though.

If eircom didn't sell you 70mbit/s it seems like you might be on a longer line than you think.

I'd say though you'll see a fairly substantial improvement.

Lot into the router by going to:

192.168.1.254 on your browser.

username : admin
password : same as your wifi network password printed on the sticker on the back of the modem (unless you've already changed the login password)

Mouse over "system monitor" at the bottom of the screen and click xDSL Statistics and you should be able to see your full modem stats.

I believe that this is being rolled out Exchange by Exchange but I do not think it will be advertised as an upgrade.

I'd imagine eircom will be sometime this or next week.

airuser · 06-04-2014 11:23pm

I know what you mean. Where I live the advertise "up to" is 70. However, when one investigates, max 50. But using the percentage between the what "upto " speed and what I would receive 37.5. Based on the figures receiving now. So "up to" makes me laugh. A friend has a cabinet at his door 30metres away. His speed is 47.5 on up to 70. Now that is without vectoring.

We all live in hope

Apparently I can get 100Mb... wonder what I'd actually get though.
I really hope the cabinet 400m-ish away is the one I'm connected to.

airuser · 06-04-2014 11:40pm

What I did was to see the speeds I am getting now. Use that % to give me the speed I may get.

Go to the Eircom site put in ones details. The speed they believe you may get is there. Then do the maths. So if your are getting suppose 24m now and actual is 12 m then up to 70m on Fibre. I believe actual would be 35. Well, that is the way I think. Some genius out there will say I am wrong.

I don't really understand. I am getting 10Mb out of an apparent 12Mb line, before I was able to get a steady 16Mb but for whatever reason Sky said it was no longer possible. I can apparently get 43Mb out of 70Mb now that I remember.

Alan181824,
Happened to me. For a couple of days my speeds went up to over 10Mb on a 12Mb line and then dropped back to 8.5Mb and for most of the time has been steady at that.
Did drop off completely some months ago. Eircom via SKY replace the faceplate all back to normal.8.5Mb.

Really do not know what SKY are playing at, with speeds and fibre. The poor bod on the phone is getting the anger of the user. Management is saying nothing.

Looking at the Magnet link posted looks interesting. Would only be interested in Fibre.

Switching to SKY was painless and everything was up and running as promised. Have not heard anything about Magnet until this evening.

May call them during the week

You are mixing apples and oranges there. The 24Mb is ADSL2 which limited by the distance from your exchange. The 70Mb is VDSL which is limited by the distance from your local cabinet which is going to be a hell of a lot closer than the exchange in most cases.

HellboundIRL · 07-04-2014 8:24pm

There's been very few updates by people regarding vectoring - has anyone else outside of the original areas noticed a change in stats in the past week?

I'm in Loughrea - nothing here so far.

Yes, I know mixing ASDL and VSDL. These a a graph with tells one the drop off of speeds in relation to the distance from the cabinet.
Have it somewhere, as usual when one needs it cannot put my hand on it.

No extra cost. Just ring, ask for tech support and ask to be bumped to the highest profile your stats can handle.

Unfortunately I have a Technicolour TG598vn router, supplied by Magnet and can't find a way to display the Max Attainable Up and Down Speed, looks like it is not possible.

Looks like I had vectoring enabled last night. Very strange results.

My attenuation is 12.2db.

The SNR went from 6.5 to 10... however the attainable rate went from 63Mbit to 53Mbit! Still syncing at 50Mbit.

My ping has gone from 24 down to around 11.

Anyone know what happened there? Was I on a more stable profile before and now I'm back on a regular one? Disappointing to have vectoring reduce my attainable rate!

jimmad · 09-04-2014 8:58am

I had movement on my line last night also, the G.INP has been enabled on the downstream only and the with INP going from a value of 2 which was 8ms to now a value of 28 which is 2ms. My Sync speed and attainables have dropped dramatically from 61/21 to 55/13.

Fair bit of movement here also - in the opposite direction. There was a re-set early this AM. SNR on Rx gone from 12.40dB to 18.50db. Tx attainables up marginally from 23.117Mbps to 23.647Mbps and Rx from 112.224Mbps to 119.012Mbps.
Now, will she take that 100Mbps?

Look at that ping to Enniskillen.

Line should definitely be able for 100, maybe it was the change in profile?

Yes Allen - my profile remains at 85/20 for the interim. The VDSL Counters since re-set are way down. The Actual INP Symbols have gone from 2/2 to 29/30 and I'm trying to determine what implications this may have. My reading of vectoring is simply that it's designed to suppress crosstalk "noise," thus improving if not negating altogether, major upstream correction errors, giving a purer connection with higher attainable rates.
It's understandable that eircom would have some teething problems with this implementation but the gains to be made are worth it.

Just had vectoring go live on my line in Churchfield in Cork city.

My attainable rate has dropped from 72Mpbs to 63Mpbs though.

Ping is now as low a 4ms to my first hop down from 23ms.

What does that mean? Is it slower but the line is cleaner?

Nonoperational · 10-04-2014 8:05am

Same as me so. Higher SNR but lower attainable and lower ping.

SpaceTime · 10-04-2014 12:15pm

I think vectoring's possibly active on my line now as the VoIP ATA is reporting that there was a fairly long period of no DSL connectivity last night at around 12:00 and again at 1:00.

The attainable speed's slightly higher but not significantly.

I think I'm the same, noticed an outage on the line yesterday around 11am for around 20mins, and afterwards the attainable rate has dropped from 75 to 53, but pings are quicker. (Connected to the little island exchange , Cork)

Vdsl appears to be down here in glanmire, and it disconnected first for 5 mimutes about an hour ago, so it might be vectoring related. Time to use the internet sharing on the phone!

Didn't make much impact on my line at all really. Bit disappointing.

Slight improvement on attainable download and a significant drop on the upload attainable rate.

Something strange happening on D3 band.

My cab in Greystones, Co. Wicklow had the vectoring ugrade overnight. My downstream SNR went up from 13dB to 18.9dB and upstream from 12dB to 14.8dB. Massive increase in downstream SNR, so I'd expect a lift from 70Mb to 100Mb any day now!

Here's an extract of my log from this morning

Shame that the upload dropped, I guess that line will be stuck at 15/3 for now.

When might Eircom to enable vectoring on their eFibre/VDSL service?
