    Hello there,

    I noticed last week engineers were around my road and they seemed to be installing fibre and this evening my neighbour rang me to say we had fibre in the area and that he had sales reps up at his house so i drove up (50 yards away).

    After a few moments we came to the conclusion that the fibre rollout did not go as far as my house. I was wondering would it be possible to get one of your Engineers come and connect my house?

    If your house is not planned to be covered then probably not.
    This is the Eir retail forum so there isn't anything they can do.
    The roll out of FTTH is done by open eir

    There's a long thread on the broadband forum that might be of use

    Ok crap .. I seen a post online that said “For homes and businesses within 50 metres of the network access point or that already have infrastructure installed, such as ducting on their property to deliver telecoms services, then Open Eir will deliver the fibre connection either as an aerial connection or alternatively will utilise the ducting that is in place on behalf the retail operator that is providing the service,”

    Eir said in a statement.
    “In circumstances where the building is more than 50 metres away from the network access point and there is no existing ducting, then the customer will have to conduct the appropriate works to install infrastructure on their property,” it said.

    “Once that work is completed, Open Eir will then install the cable into the duct and complete the connection and install the equipment into the home or business.”

    Yes 50 metres for an overhead install or else ducting must be used.

    FTTH has to pass your road for it to be possible though. 

    There's this map but I have heard they are not so good at keeping it up to date. See if the yellow rural fibre route passes your home

    Airwire is a company that keep the available eircodes as up to date as possible, try entering your eircode here.
