Almost 12,000 premises around Westmeath will benefit.
Works are underway to bring fibre broadband to homes and businesses in Westmeath.
Almost 3,000 premises around Kinnegad, Killucan and Raharney are eligible for high-speed broadband from National Broadband Ireland (NBI) as part of the Government’s National Broadband Plan (NBP) .
Under the plans, approximately 12,000 premises in the Lake County will benefit from the €46m broadband investment.
The Survey and Design phase of the project is now complete.
Nationally, 1,950 are already connected to the network.
You can check the status of your broadband on the NBI website.
Peter Hendrick, Chief Executive Officer, National Broadband Ireland said:
“Our teams are working tirelessly on the rollout plan and considerable progress has been made on the developments in Westmeath. Presently surrounding areas of Mullingar, Devlin, Enniscoffey and Lough Owel Village can order high-speed fibre broadband to connect to the National Broadband Network. As the fast pace of the rollout continues, we are confident in our expertise to progress premises from the construction phase to the order phase. We are currently partnering with retail service providers, and other stakeholders, to connect homes in Westmeath. Minimum speeds of 500Mbps will be available. Our goal is to improve digital connectivity across the country. Digital connectivity has become a huge part of our everyday lives, and this new Fibre-to-the-Home network, will be a key enabler for the sustainability of local businesses and communities.”
Sports clubs, community centres and tourist sites will provide free public access to high-speed internet in the rollout area.
Other broadband connection points include schools and marts.
