    Just an enquiry to see when the cabinet CTL1_006 will be activated. Has been in place since may and all other cabinets in town and surrounding countryside areas have been activated but not this one.
    Cheers

    [font=Verdana, sans-serif] [/font]
    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]Thanks for getting in touch. Completion work is currently in progress on this cabinet and according to our latest NGA deployment plan we have estimated service should be ready to order from this cabinet in 3-6 months.[/font]

    While I thank you for the answer,  what's the commercial rationale to give fibre to isolated towns/areas around me(which are also on the 2020 ftth program) than to turn on a box that has been in place since may 2016 ?

    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]I'm afraid there is a lot more work involved than just turning on a box [/font][font=Verdana, sans-serif]One2many[/font][font=Verdana, sans-serif]. [/font]
    [font=Verdana, sans-serif] [/font]
    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]fibre optic cables need laid alongside the existing copper cables and due to this time taken to upgrade the line to efibre will vary depending on the level of work involved and whether consents from road and planning authorities and private landowners are necessary.[/font]

    Thanks for reply. I appreciate that and understand what might involve a delay but  Since may '16 box has been in place, power has been supplied  and cables were laid at an earlier date all at around the same time (within a month) as the other boxes in town which have been turned on .  Frustrating as timecales tend to slip.

    No problem  One2many, I can understand that.

    Again thanks for the reply. 
    Just one final question. According to the Department of Communications Climate action and Environment websites High Speed Broadband 2016,  I am within the blue coloured area on its mapping where high speed broadband should be in place by end of 2016. Can openeir.ie provide an explanation as to why this is not going to happen. If so how do I go about obtaining this information? Many thanks

    No problem  One2many, I'm afraid I can only comment of eir's rollout plan. 
    You can submit requests to openeir via this link openeir

    So, no news then. Meanwhile I continue to pay the same as those on fibre while not receiving it, oh and I'll also be subsidising 1000mb Internet also.

    Sorry, you said you apologise for the inconvenience, but still didn't give a date of when this cabinet will be turned on. Its been 5months since I was told 3-6 months on a cabinet that has been in place and ready to go for 12months. just how incompetent is eir that they can't provide a date after this time frame?

    Unfortunately, on our latest deployment plan, it is still showing 3-6 months estimated as well as on our rollout plan.

    I do apologise we don't have an estimated date just yet.

    Thanks,
    Anna.

    Sorry, but 5mths into a 3-6mths estimate and you repeat its now showing 3-6mths,according to the rollout plan. What utter tosh. There appears to be no plan at all, save waiting for the taxpayer to bail eir out (again) via NBP. I'll repeat again, I'm paying the same as others who receive fibre, while I subsidise it on my legacy Internet. Is that good enough from eir?

    I'm afraid we are unable to escalate this process for this area. 

    I'm sorry you feel this way, unfortunately, at this time we would be unable to give you any better news.

    In relation to your package, this reflects the usage you have agreed to for your broadband and is not in relation to your speeds.

    I'm sorry we can't help you further with this from here.

    Thanks,
    Anna.

    Thank you for your quick responses. So if it's based on usage rather than speed, that means ftth is priced the same as legacy and ftth, If I get in the next decade(btw that's not a joke or sarcasm)? i guess that's me done here, guess it's onto 4g for at least over 8mb speed and not wait around for the cabinet 200mtrs away to be turned on.

    Interesting, I have always worried about the quality of information given here. I just confirmed fibre install from this cabinet on Wed 24th may.
    Many thanks

    fibre is connected to this cabinet now, 85mbs. Happy days. Won't be relying on any misinformation here anymore. It's not in any accurate and can frustrate people.
