National Broadband Plan: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Find out if you can access high-speed fibre broadband through this national connectivity initiative for underserved areas.
The National Broadband Plan is a government initiative designed to bring high-speed fibre internet to locations that currently lack reliable connectivity.
Who it's for
This scheme is for residents living in designated "intervention areas" where current internet connections are poor or insufficient for modern needs.
What you get
You can gain access to high-speed fibre broadband, providing a much faster and more stable connection than traditional services available in many rural locations.
What it costs you
The cost depends on your specific location. You must check your Eircode on the official website to see what service is available to you and what the associated costs will be.
The catch to know
The rollout is being done in phases. This means that even if you live in an area identified for improvement, your specific home might not be ready for connection just yet.
How to apply
- Visit the official NBI website.
- Enter your Eircode into the search tool.
- Check the status of the rollout in your specific area.
- Follow the instructions provided for your location to check for availability.
