Why are Eir Charging Instalation fee on FTTC and not FTTH?

    So can anyone explain this logic?

    I want to avail of their offer:

    €39.99 a month
    12-month contract
    eFibre and TV
    Free Apple TV

    Installation is €100
    Activation for the bundle is €49

    However
    If I select the 1GB connection on the same bundle
    Installation and Activation are Free.

    Now why would that be? Would have expected the opposite to be true. Putting in a physical wire for instaltion of FTTH

    OpenEir waived it for new installs of FTTH.

    Possibly because with FTTH you're tied to eir AFAIK, not sure if there's many other suppliers?

    The FTTC used to be sold/resold by Vodafone/Sky etc so you'd have more options to move providers.
