NBI’s connection of Killybegs means that 1,420 homes and businesses in the area will soon be able to access high-speed fibre broadband. This includes the rural surrounds of Killybegs, Malin Beg and Carrick.
25,474 premises can now pre-order or order high-speed, reliable broadband across Donegal, with 6,917 connections made to date. Works have already been completed in rural areas across the county including near Ballyshannon, Ardara and Fintown.
National Broadband Ireland is encouraging all Donegal residents to visit nbi.ie and check their Eircode to see if they’re ready to connect and find out more about placing an order.
NBI’s fibre rollout under the NBP is delivering broadband infrastructure to what is known as the State’s Intervention Area, which includes the most remote and rural parts of Ireland where commercial operators have no plans to deliver high-speed broadband. The Intervention Area currently includes 34,000 premises in Donegal which will see NBI deliver minimum speeds of 500 megabits per second to homes, businesses, farms, and schools across the county. As the biggest investment in rural Ireland since rural electrification, Co Donegal will receive €128m of Government investment under the National Broadband Plan.
