Thats a bit misleading. Its true they cant offer a bitstream service until eircom offer theirs, but Esat can go ahead at any time, unbundle some local loops and install dsl on those.

Boston

nope, they cant, right the exchange has to be upgraded to allow for unbundling, there is only one exchange in the country that could be unbundled and thats in limerick

Btw you dont use llu to provide adsl, that would be plane stupid and uneconomical, llu is for private circuits and the like

Didn't I read somewhere that Ballina and one or two others were also unbundled?

I know it's like pulling teeth, but at least some progress, however slow, is being made.

Sorry Boston, but that's not correct. I can't go into why it's not correct, you'll just have to take my word for it.

maybe they are in the process, but last i heard it was just the one in limerick, the so called trial exchange

Boston

seems things have changed since i last looked, if you cant get into it, i take it that its not in the public domain yet?

if you say so fair enough,

Space! Upgrading?!

This is a total red herring, the Mervue (main 091) exchange in Galway has plenty of space for a 3rd party room where other carriers put their kit.....not thet they need much of it.

Eircom then bring a wire up there from a frame.

the LL is then U

Some smaller exchanges are pushed for space, this is true, I was told that Naas is badly maxed out because of unprecedented growth in the town in the last 10 years.

The ballina exchange is the main 096 one, another fine lump of a building on the Castlebar road as I recall.

Most companys dont, but you can. I wasnt talking about how economical it was for a telco to do it, i was only saying that its possible.

Boston

Its not a red herring, because with llu the isp use there own equipment they have to some and install it themselves. they also have to provide bandwidth to that exchange(i actually think they can by bandwidth off eircom but its not cheap) so thats anotehr few months.

the reason why it was happening in limerick was because there was an esat excahnge right beside the eircom one, so it would be easy enough to get bandwidth to and from.

I heard runors about an exchange in galway, near one of the major industrial esates being upgraded awhile back. i didnt mention anything about it but this has peacked my interest.

ill be keeping an eye on this

You'd think I'd be happy about the Ballina exchange being unbundled, wouldn't you? I mean, me living just outside Ballina and all?

As it happens, I'm a couple of hundred metres on the wrong side of the boundary between 094 and 096!! *sob*

(...and I don't see the Knockmore exchange being one of the early unbundling candidates...!)

Boston

doesnt matter, when they start offering services just ring up eircom and ask for a line from that exchange.
