Yeah that's a concern for sure... I wasn't expecting this issue in a built up Dublin suburb. In a stretch of 6 houses, 4 are impacted.If you can only get virgin media you will have no scope to get better pricing, friend of mine pays 70 a month for 200mb BB whereas i change fibre provider annually and get 500mb for around 30-35 euro i think it is.
VirginMedia provides some reduction for existing customers, if you call them (not as good a deal as new customers, mind).If you can only get virgin media you will have no scope to get better pricing, friend of mine pays 70 a month for 200mb BB whereas i change fibre provider annually and get 500mb for around 30-35 euro i think it is.
Thanks @newirishman the property doesn't have external insulation, it has an enclosed porch which might complicate things. Virgin Media seem much more willing to run cables and drill multiple access points if needed. Hmm.
Using a PoE splitter/injector with the Fibre ONT works perfectly.The most annoying for me was that they seem to have only *one* type of fibre converter, and they only take feed directly from the wall behind. Also, no support for PoE so you need a socket - which is really a pain. With PoE you could at least put the router wherever it makes most sense, and just run a patch cable between them....
that is good news! Why do the installers not know this?Using a PoE splitter/injector with the Fibre ONT works perfectly.
They're following protocol. Make sure to have the PoE setup and ready to go, ask them for a good reason why it wouldn't work.that is good news! Why do the installers not know this?
