Carlow villages and towns to avail of high-speed broadband

National Broadband Ireland, the company delivering the new future-proofed, high-speed Fibre-to-the-Home network under the National Broadband Plan (NBP) on behalf of the Government, has announced that over 2,300 premises in Borris and nearby townlands and villages in Carlow will be able to order or pre-order broadband on the National Broadband Ireland network very shortly. 

Approximately 8,000 premises in County Carlow are included in the State’s Intervention Area, which will see National Broadband Ireland deliver minimum speeds of 500 megabits per second to homes, businesses, farms, and schools. As the biggest investment in rural Ireland since rural electrification, County Carlow will receive €32m of Government investment under the NBP. 

National Broadband Ireland crews have made substantial progress in County Carlow and premises will go live in Borris where 2,306 premises will be able to order or pre-order broadband on the National Broadband Ireland network in the coming months. 

Peter Hendrick, Chief Executive Officer, National Broadband Ireland, said: “We are delighted to announce that premises in Borris and nearby areas will soon be able to order or pre-order broadband services through the National Broadband Ireland network. This will enable users to experience the life-changing benefits that high-speed broadband provides.

“We are confident that the rollout will continue to gather pace as our ability to move premises from the construction phase to the order phase ramps up. We are acutely aware that people want access to high-speed broadband and our goal is to deliver that as quickly as possible.”
