After pole went in, final install date was set for next Monday. Got a call today to say OpenEir working overtime and would we like install tomorrow instead. Jumped at opportunity. Cross your fingers and if anyone else is waiting, keep an eye out for missed calls from OpenEir in case your install is available sooner too!

There is a different issue here, that's causing this. I've seen an area in Kerry go live with RFO dates for the 9th. And then on the updated file on the 10th, all ports on said sub-exchange went unavailable. Now the story is end July/start August.

There's constant fiddling of figures going on. Sometimes orders on the fiddled lines go in and then you end up with ... well, the fiber is there, but no gear in the exchange. Or the gear they installed in the exchange turns up faulty.

That looks like being the reality of it. I won't spell it out further.

Sounds familiar, I ordered fibre last month, as the go live data for my area was 8th May. First two fibre orders failed, one before the go live, one after. Third order went through with an appointment for tomorrow. I texted the KN installer that had done some prep work last month including pulling the fibre into the house. He rang to tell me that fibre on the road isn't live yet and probably wont be by tomorrow.

Told they have to do a survey. 14th of June

I kind of wish our corporate partner was wrong when they told me end of June for FTTH to our large factory in the town. Maybe he was told early May and just knew to add two months for all this crap.

Got an update today, still telling me end of June for our go live for the business. Were part of a trial group for a large 'reseller' or 'partner' that doesnt offically sell ftth at the moment so i had assumed the June date was because of that...

It would be interesting to know how many houses can get > 100mb/s from more than one provider (as opposed to reseller). i.e. we have Virgin but can only get 30mb over the phoneline and no FTTH. There can't be that many places that can get Virgin and FTTH.

Just SIRO and NBP, still boycotting Eir.

“ Our reach will continue to grow year on year through our relationship with partners such as [ESB/Vodafone joint venture] Siro and through backing the Government’s National Broadband Plan, which will make superfast broadband a reality for currently under-served communities,” she added.

The company’s new “aggregate product” utilises existing fibre technologies and networks from other suppliers, bundling them into a single package for the consumer, which it claims is 10 times faster than the standard fibre product on the Irish market.

Read between the lines. Sky's relationship with Eir is via BT.
BT are aggregating services for Sky.

Correct. BT are offering an aggregation service that provides Sky with access to both SIRO and eir. Sky have not partnered with eir or have a direct relationship with them. This is handled through BT.

Let's see. It should be obvious from address checker results. I'm more interested in seeing Sky's FUP.

Can you clarify something?

Free installation if I switch to airwire from let’s say Vodafone ptsn and sign an 18 month contract?

Is it odd that KN are doing what I can only assume is FTTH work on roads that arent on the on the 300k rollout?



They were working on this lane that goes nowhere and isnt on the 300k before they went to the next back road that was on the map. they dug up the footpath in a few places between the eir manholes

No it's not unusual. In many of the areas that have gone live they have passed a greater number of premises than was originally specified in the pdf that was released to the public.

A PSTN line is not a fibre line (FTTH I assume you are wanting) so it's a brand new line installation and ergo a charge

Provider move / Existing fibre line
6 months €99.00 From €89.00
12 months €99.00 Basic router free
18 months Free Basic router free

That suggests I can migrate my PSTN Vodafone service ie number to Airwire if I sign up for 18 months. Fibre line will be installed free.

Edit. Nothing in the T&Cs or disclaimers

You would need a fibre provider
On an 18 month (150mb) contract Airwire would make probably less than a hundred euro if the install was free (maybe marlow/navi can give the exact figures)

Only company (after eir started charging) doing it for free is westnet (but they have their reasons)

Surprised you didn't bring in a charge, if even nominal, after eir introducing a charge
