    [font=arial, sans-serif]                I have repeatedly asked eir loyalty support on the phone, to be told they do not know when I can have the service, when any expansion in planned, or they don’t even know who to ask to get this info, or who to pass me on to.[/font]

    [font=arial, sans-serif]                The level of support service here is very poor.[/font]

    Hi there,

    Thanks for getting in touch and letting us know about your issue. I'm afraid that if no ports are available we'll have no way of determining when one will become available. This will only happen when/if a current fibre customer cancels their service.

    Sorry I can't give you more information here.

    So basically never. 
    Good response there from Eir. 
    My father has the same issue as the OP. Cabinet only couple of hundred yards from front door but no ports available in it. Its an absolute joke.

    Hi adam. Does that simply mean the service is completely used up in my area.if so i just need that confirmed . Or is there any expansion / further rollout planned. If not then why are the sales people telling me to wait.
