Having issues getting fibre broadband in a property in a Dublin estate.
The company have said they need to run cables from one side of the road to the property, but there are trees in the way and it's not 100% certain if they can trim them enough to allow the cable come through. Some of the other houses on the same stretch have cables going right through branches which seems a bit vulnerable.
I noticed that Virgin Media run their cables along the houses - so I can get broadband with them but I'd prefer to stick with current broadband provider as cheaper and quicker service, and long term fibre seems like it might be more scaleable than VM's offering.
Has anyone managed to get broadband via an indirect line run via neighbours or is it only direct?
