High-speed connectivity on the way as over 1,800 Donegal homes, farms and businesses near the Tamney area see build works commence.
National Broadband Ireland (NBI), the company rolling out the new high speed fibre broadband network under the Government’s National Broadband Plan (NBP) today announced that construction has commenced to deliver high-speed broadband to over 1,800 premises in the Tamney deployment area in County Donegal.
33,000 premises in County Donegal will see minimum speeds of 500 megabits per second delivered to homes, businesses, farms, and schools.
As the biggest investment in rural Ireland since rural electrification, County Donegal will receive €128m of Government investment under the National Broadband Plan.
Having successfully completed the Survey and Design phase of the project, 1,817 Donegal premises in the Tamney deployment area are now under construction to have high-speed fibre.
Works have already been completed in other parts of Donegal and there are 3,122 premises that are available to order or pre-order high-speed, reliable broadband across the county, with 1,079 connections already made to the network.
NBI is calling on people to visit nbi.ie/map/ and enter their Eircode to see if they are ready to connect. Their 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.
