Have the same in my house in Mayo, but it’s the old copper lines or whatever 🙄 at least Eir was honest there, while others were like “up to 1gb”… Which is technically right, (“up to, however”) but wowza.
Unfortunately the house I rent is 300m away from the fibre network set up by eir. I’m in the government zone, and apparently have to wait till 2026. 🤷♀️ Because feck all.
Had 1000mb with Digiweb at our old house just outside Navan.
Now we’re in a different part of Navan and can’t get anything but 100mb with Eir.
Had Virgin out to try and set us up only for them to find the lines on our road cut, and the owner of the houses (plural, the guy owns like 3 on our road but doesn’t live here) won’t allow Virgin access to repair them.
So it’s Eir for us. Or Sky who use the same lines anyways.
Probably because they own most of that infrastructure and resell to Vodafone/Sky/Pure Telecom etc over Open Eir. Then they have old customers who never changed and then others who can only get their service. They’re an absolute disaster though
That’s crazy. Way back I lived in connemara up a side road for 3 years. Had full gigabit.
I get 1Gbps from eir, sky, Vodafone etc. so that’s how. That’s all via open eir.
Eir should “re-roll” out (as in roll out fibre) in existing areas (or should be forced to) for the sake of competition. I’d imagine there’s a business reason they don’t right now (they don’t think enough people with switch from VM to recover costs?).
If in Crumlin you’ll be going with Virgin. A lot of old lines that haven’t been upgrade yet.
