National Broadband Ireland : implementation and progress

Have they entered the PPPoE configuration correctly? We say an incident here before where the installer just hadn't set up the PPPoE login on the modem (In that case it was a Digiweb Fritzbox)

Looks like Monday now to get it activated, thats frustrating

Well finally enabled, 1gb product, here are my speed test results

Wireless (directly in front of gigabox modem and using samsung s21 ultra

DL 558, UL 112

Wired, CAT6A directly in to back of router, windows machine 1gb ethernet conenction (via usb adaptor) and using ookla speed test app (not web browser)

DL 90 UL 113

Thats dissapointing, wondering if my issue is the usb dongle, but it says it is 1gb capable

What does the open-eir map indicate for your location? open eir broadband checker (arcgis.com)

Just checked my sister's address in Lucan and surprised to see she can get 2 Gbps fibre over the open-eir network. The NBI site says of her address "Internet service providers have indicated that they intend to offer speeds of 30mbps or greater in your locality".

So it looks like if a commercial network provider intends to rollout fibre at some point in the future you won't be included in the NBP rollout.

They've basically removed any reference to the 2025-2026 timeframe on the map display, but it's still available in the javascript powering the map here:

I was May 22- October 22 in East Cork. Now i'm August 22 to October 22.

Cobh gone pre order

Excellent!!

I checked the roll out dates for my area. I am in a relatively new build. We moved in last year. All the houses around us are due for connection between August and October. Ours is "pending survey".

I took it that this was simply because our eircode didn't exist whenever they done the survey. I contacted NBI and they said the house actually has to be surveyed. No time frame. I'm so angry. He could offer no information. We are literally surrounded by houses in the network build stage.

Are they likely to include our house whenever they are putting the infrastructure in place? Anyone experienced this?

I emailed digiweb yesterday to say that I was tired of waiting. Today I got a call from KN offering an installation date of 4th July. Coincidence??

So now the fun begins. Is my service duct blocked ? Will I need a pole in the garden ? All will be revealed. I must get onto Digiweb to send the modem out.

Thanks for your response and I hope I will be in the same position as your neighbours.

NBI have been out a few times in the area but not 100% on what work has been done. What is frustrating is when they were doing the survey, my house was well under construction and I approached a guy from NBI who was doing a survey and discussed the best position for ducting etc. I have a duct running from a telephone pole close to my house all the way to my utility room. The guy took pictures etc of the ducting. Hopefully it is merely a paperwork thing and I don't have to wait too long more.

Don't overthink it, honestly. You'll almost certainly be going live with your neighbors. One thing you can do if you're so inclined is to contact your local broadband officer with your Eircode and ask for a status update. Let them know if you have neighbours either side of you showing they'll be ready to connect in the timeframe you mentioned etc.

I fired off an email to our local officer for the two new builds on our road. They got back to me with a copy of a mail they'd sent to NBI. I heard no more from the officer or NBI, but the Eircodes cut directly over from pending survey to ready for connect when the time came.

Sometimes pre ordernstatus in the nbi website is nit reflected in the providers own databases for a few weeks, from personal experience, when u went ore order it took nearly a month before vodafone were updated and I couldnorder through them
