You can use micheals script in python to pull the info as the web link is borked . PM your num to me and ill look it up and msg it back to you if you like .

dbit

copy this to a file :-
***************************************************************************
try:

except:
from urllib.request import urlopen, Request


headers = {
'User-Agent': 'SpeedCheck script - MichealKenny',

}

try:
area_code = raw_input('Area code: ')
number = raw_input('Rest of number: ')

except NameError:
area_code = input('Area code: ')
number = input('Rest of number: ')

url = 'https://www.eircom.net/prequalWidget/rest/ardaddresslook/phone-rsp/' \

urlopen(req)
data = urlopen(req)

print(data.read().decode())
input('Press enter to terminate')
******************************************************************* ( Do not use the asterix in the file)
save the file in kali and call it Eircom.py . then from command line type :-

python eircom.py , it should then prompt for the area code then phone num and then output the data.

What do ya mean save it in Kali?

KAli linux VM , or just use python in windows. (Kali will have it all installed ready to run )

Alternatively run linux with X , pop out a terminal , install python 2.7.x , then from command line call the file you saved in the manner i described .

Thanks for this , great to have the checks back working again. It still will not execute in the GUI for me , I did get it to run by simply copying down the script to a file in KAli linux and then from command line i had to type "python eircom.py" ( I named the file eircom.py) then it takes inputs and run as expected. using ./eircom.py did not run the interpreter ?? I am not a coder so bluffed it till it worked.

Thanks for this Micheal.

chmod +x eircom.py


Will make it executable

Ye went one further and cleaned up my understanding on the back of all of this , set variable and path in windows so i can call it from cmd line also. Gui still wont run it though . Its now working in more than one place so im all good to go. No update on the ****ty exchange . I said to myself if not up and running by june 1st ill give my notice and move back to the city . Tomorrow is that day . Cant wait for all that docsis and 4g yumminess all around me again .

anybody know if there are any further plans to add more cabinets into areas, there are 80 houses on my street, up to the start of the street can get fibre and the road and an estate of over 300 houses further up the road can get fibre due to cabinets in place now. my street is in dead zone as we are over 1k from the exchange and are direct connected. I would love to be able to order a new line but a engineer told me that it is not guaranteed to be directed to a cabinet.

The exchange might get enabled for evdsl. Keep an eye on the map on fibrerollout.ie

Eircom say you can get it up to 2km away. What exchange is it?

kenny111

bandon BND1_E01, i was on to eircom earlier and they say i cant get it, i believe that the 2k limit applies to cabinets rather than the exchange, i am on 17mb now.

guil

That's bad news for me so. According to other posts here eircom said its 1800 metres for cabs or 2000 from the exchange.

1.8km from exchange is the spec

That'd be partly due to the fact that copper cabs would be common to distribute the longer runs so the chances of having a ccp increase after 1km.

What is the speed expected to be at the range?

12_1 is the minimal they'll sell, 7_1 is the lowest value before you fail to prequalify.

Are you trying out numbers you know and from the phone book and sticking them in the tester? Or is that a definitive total of lines that pass? Just 10 lines, even manually tested, shouldn't take that long to be enabled...

These are numbers I know well and know to be DF. Most are customers of mine. The 10 lines figure is from the eircom wholesale website. I've been keeping and eye on the figures as each cab has been launched.

I notice a tiny exchange in Lorrha has gone live with 20 lines able to get vdsl. Is it surprising that a tiny exchange would go live before larger ones?

Off to look at a house in Blarney , fingers crossed its connected to a vdsl cab ( Pre qual is just the dogs nuts) Serious looking house . Praying.

Make sure it is.

I know someone in Blarney and despite being on a road with a cab at both ends, it seems their line passes right by the cab and is direct feed from the exchange at more then 2km.

Otherwise Blarney is a lovely place.

Alternatively if your not a computer jesus , God , Demigod , savior then you can pass on your (PM) number to me there and i will look it up for you. The script can tell you where or what you are plugged into and what speeds can be achieved as well as any install dates recorded by eircom and entered into theyre own DB.

Looked it up using address only the estate is a new one and Two large green cabs , It comes back with address saying yes 60MB speed and in efiber area. The only problem now is even though I was first to view the landlord is acting very Coy , possibly he fears a sinlge person paying the bills alone and i get the impression he will opt for a couple rather than a single dad.

gnolan

I contacted Eircom who tell me I am in a eFibre enabled area. I was told that I could expect 18Mb at the very maximum.

I'm 1.4km from the nearest cabinet and after running the python script I get the following results:

{
    "ccb": "002",
    "eee": "SND",
    "xbc": false,
    "xec": false,

    "validationType": "phone",
    "completed": true,
    "partialAddresses": [],
    "isRedCustomer": false,
    "ina": false
}

Can anyone interpret these results and tell me if 18Mb is an accurate expectation of what I could get if I signed up for eFibre?

To give some context, my current speed tops out at a blazingly fast 1.7Mb/s!

EDIT: If it's any help my current line stats are:

Connection speed: 2045kbps Down 380kbps Up
Line attenuation: 63.5db Down 36.2db Up
Noise margin: 6.4db Down 16.9db Up

No NGA info in there at all, doesnt show a CCP so you arent through a cab, or if you are the prequal system doesnt know it. Good chance you could be DF with a 17Mb ADSL2 line.

You're currently what they call "extended reach" aka lucky to get broadband at all.

SND1_002 is at Kilternan crossroads, so you're likely south of there? I'd count on getting 15Mb Down, 3Mb up. Any higher might introduce instability, youll have to upgrade to find out.

I'm guessing there's something in those results that say if you're an eircom customer or a reseller or on LLU but can you confirm, are you a regular eircom customer?

guil

I wonder is the red customer bit for identifying LLU? Around 2007 I was going to get bt broadband and it was from a cab connected to the same exchange in df to now. Previously is said true but now it's false

Area code: xxxx
Rest of number: xxxxxxx

I'd be pretty happy with 15Mb down to be honest, but would just like to be sure that if I was to upgrade it wouldn't be something insignificant like a jump from my current 1.7Mb to 3Mb or something like that.

Nope - moved to BT a long time ago and then to Vodafone after that.

My original results are exactly the same - see below - and I too am a Vodafone Customer (previously BT / ESAT BT)


On 15/5/2015 my prequal read was - {"xbc":false,"xec":false,"xfc":false,"xrc":false,"inga":false,"ingb":true,"maxNGB":"17M_768K_RH","maxNGBServiceCode":"BMBS24M","phone":"xx-xxxxxxx","validationType":"phone","completed":true,"partialAddresses":[],"isRedCustomer":false,"ina":false}

However on 25/5/2015 the prequal read was -
{"ccb":"013","eee":"LND","xbc":false,"xec":false,"xfc":false,"xrc":false,"inga":false,"ingb":true,"maxNGB":"17M_768K_RH","maxNGBServiceCode":"BMBS24M","phone":"xx-xxxxxxx","validationType":"phone","completed":true,"partialAddresses":[],"isRedCustomer":false,"ina":false}

My guess on the difference between two readings is - that I have been switched to a cabinet rather than being DF from exchange (cabinet LND1_013) - fed by exchange LND1_E01 which is undergoing the completion process of Fibre Build.

I think I was originally DF by other exchange LCN1_E01....could be wrong of course.

Idle speculation - but I am wondering if spare capacity has become available at the new exchange (LND1_E01) following the possible migration (or flight) to UPC.

Finally got a response from someone in eircom who found out why I haven't been able to get efibre from my exchange when it went live in the last week I'm on an older shelve in the exchange and I was told it will be moved to the efibre part over the next few months was hoping for it to be sooner than this.

It's always a bad sign when Eircom can't give you an exact date.
I wonder will this be a problem for many people.

A response from the fibrerollout site.

Your number is direct fed from a cabinet in the exchange, which is included in our deployment plan and the good news is that it is due for upgrade this summer with a forecasted go live date of July. For further information you will need to contact your preferred retail provider.

Kind Regards

Hopefully my number will be one of the initial ones to have fibre-enabled........

This number is direct fed by Wicklow exchange, as part of our fibre rollout to 1.6 million homes and businesses, we have developed and deployed a number of technical solutions which are used to deliver much faster broadband speeds for customers, offering speeds of up to 100Mb/s.
