ftth in castlebar

captain_boycott

Is fibre to the home being rolled out soon to Castlebar?  And can you advise if estates on the outskirts of the town will get it, for example Kilkenny cross? 

Alternatively will the FTTC cabs be vector enabled any time soon?

Hi captain_boycott

I can confirm FTTH is not planned for Castlebar although it is planned for some surrounding areas. If you follow the below link - click on NGA fibre broadband Network map and then click on Fibre services planned on the right hand side panel of the map you will then see large orange icons showing you where FTTH is planned.

I can also confirm that the cabinets (FTTC) in Castlebar are already vectoring enabled.

Thanks
Al

Can you include the link please?

Also, maybe I got my terminology wrong, but if its not FTTH, what is the service that will provide Gigabyte speeds per the attached
link ?  Castlebar is listed here, plus I recieved an invite to express interest a few months ago.

Hi captain_boycott

Apologies - here's the link

You will notice Castlebar is not listed on this. This may be because the map requires updating - I'll look in to that and get back to you

Thanks

Thanks Alan, if would be great if you could look into this a bit further please.  According to the link Castlebar is already live and the comments say 

"Castlebar (Mayo)

6390 premises in this exchange can now access up to 100Mb/s fibre broadband. This is a planned FTTH exchange with speeds up to 1000Mb/s when complete."

So any more specific info on if Estates around Kilkenny Cross will be included would really be appreciated.  My current connection although e-Fibre, is only giving me 600Kb upload, so is not good enough for my work especially when trying to use Video Conferencing.

Hi captain_boycott,

Apologies for the delays.
