National Broadband Ireland has connected more than 3,000 homes since December
New figures released on Monday by NBI confirm that 102,888 premises - including homes, farms and businesses - had been passed with fibre optic cables by December 16th, enabling them to connect to high-speed broadband.National Broadband Ireland , the company charged with the roll-out of the €3 billion National Broadband Plan, has ‘passed’ more than 102,000 homes, meaning that they are now ready to connect to the network.
It was originally planned that 204,000 premises would have the fibre network installed and ready for connection by the end of January 2023. The Government revised this target downwards to 102,000 premises by the end of this month due to construction delays caused by Covid-19. However, Mark Griffin, secretary general at the Department of Communications, told the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee last October that NBI was likely to meet that target one month ahead of schedule.
