eircom Expands Fibre Broadband Investment
Tipperary is to have access to speeds of up to 1Gb/s 'end to end' fibre to the home (FTTH) technology in 21 new locations following a major regional investment by eircom.
Aherlow, Ballymackey, Ballingarry, Boherlahan, Ballyporeen, Coolbawn, Carrig, Cloughjordan, Golden, Goolds Cross, Gortnagowna, Moyne, Mullennaglough, Puckane, Portroe, Rosegreen, Rossoulty, Silvermines, Templederry, Toomevara and Templetouhy will benefit from the technology via 1,587km of fibre.
The company announced plans to significantly expand access to high speed fibre broadband in rural Ireland by extending its fibre footprint from 1.6 million homes and businesses to 1.9 million premises throughout the country. The additional 300,000 homes and businesses are spread across 1,070 communities in all 26 counties, and include 300 communities not currently served with high speed broadband. This expanded footprint means eircom will invest €400m in fibre over the next five years.
The homes and businesses to be served by this investment are largely ribbon style developments across rural Ireland in communities such as Aherlow, Ballymackey, Ballingarry, Boherlahan, Ballyporeen, Coolbawn, Carrig, Cloughjordan, Golden, Goolds Cross, Gortnagowna, Moyne, Mullennaglough, Puckane, Portroe, Rosegreen, Rossoulty, Silvermines, Templederry, Toomevara and Templetouhy, Co Tipperary.
Today, half of Ireland, 1.2 million homes and businesses, already has access to high speed broadband on eircom's network and the company remains on track to reach 70% of the country by the end of 2016.
By 2020, that will rise to 80% of the country, with 35% all homes and business accessing broadband speeds of up to 1Gb/s when construction completes.
