    apologies is this is asked and answered else where, I cant find anything using the search function

    We have bought a new house in the same parish we live in at the moment, only 200m away, but 200m closer to the fiber cabinet in the village. The 'new' house is in fact a 1980's house that has been unlived in now for the past 18 months since the last owner passed away. They were elderly so assuming they had a phone line but no broadband.

    I've contacted lots of ISP's and to a provider they are saying they cant see any details there for the eircode of the new house.

    I finally contacted eir (I hadnt wanted to use them) and they said the cabinet is full

    Is this anything anyone has come across previously? Im unsure of the way forward.

    Wait for a neighbour to move out/die.


    Literally nothing you can do but catch it at an opportune time. As a fallback in the meantime - Three PAYG 20E/28 days. Unlimited data. Buy a router from ebay.

    Are Virgin media available? They don't use the Eir cabinets.

    Look at Starlink if you are completely out of options.

    There is a great thread on boards about it with reviews of actual users.
