Fibre broadband rollout expands across county Longford
Construction has commenced to deliver high-speed broadband to almost 2,080 homes, businesses and farms in the Aughnacliffe area in County Longford.
In Longford, there are approximately 9,000 premises in the Intervention Area (IA), which includes homes, farms, commercial businesses and schools.
Under the National Broadband Plan, County Longford will see an investment of €34 million in the new high speed fibre network.
This will enable e-learning, remote monitoring of livestock or equipment, e-health initiatives, better energy efficiency in the home, and facilitate increased levels of remote working.
Having successfully completed the Survey and Design phase of the project, 2,080 Longford premises in the Aughnacliffe deployment area are now under construction to have high-speed fibre. Homes, businesses and farms in these areas will be ready to connect to the National Broadband Network.
National Broadband Ireland’s website is regularly updated to show estimated connection dates.
Signing up to the NBI email notifications at https://nbi.ie/eoi/ is the easiest way to get the most up to date status of premises during the rollout and when premises will be ready for order.
Works have already been completed in other parts of Longford and there are 3,089 premises that are available to order or pre-order high-speed, reliable broadband across the county, with 852 already connected to the network.
National Broadband Ireland is calling on people to visit nbi.ie/map/ and enter their Eircode to see if they are ready to connect.
