Broadband plan works on way for South East Clare - The Clare Champion

Broadband plan works on way for South East Clare February 19, 2021 WORK on the roll-out of the National Broadband Plan is expected to begin in parts of South East Clare by the end of the month. Members of the Rural Development Strategic Policy Committee (SPC) heard an update this week from Urban McMahon Head of Information Systems, Broadband and Digital on the work of National Broadband Ireland (NBI) and on the DigiClare initiative. “They will be moving out from Limerick into Parteen and areas close by,” he said. “For the build, they’ll be using the Eircom infrastructure and liaising with us on traffic management. There should be a lot of activity in East Clare in the coming months. NBI will also be undertaking a marketing and information campaign in the area before the end of this month.”

100,000 extra households could get funding for faster broadband

Mr Ryan’s comments may give hope to the new segment of Irish people left out of high speed rollouts but deemed to have services that aren’t bad enough for state intervention through the National Broadband Plan. At present, households that can receive a 30 megabits (Mbs) broadband service do not qualify for inclusion in the NBP. This 30Mbs cutoff line is based on previous EU guidance about what constitutes ‘high speed’. However, the EU is now revising that minimum target up to 100Mbs, with 30Mbs no longer deemed adequate for modern requirements. There are approximately 100,000 homes in Ireland stuck in this mediocre broadband limbo, not covered by fibre rollouts from Eir or Siro but also not deemed terrible enough to qualify for the National Broadband Plan.
