By the end of the project, it is anticipated that 37,000 premises will be connected to a high-speed fibre network. NBI has committed to spending €145 million in Mayo alone.
NBI’s CEO, Peter Hendrick, said these upgrades are imperative for those in rural Mayo and further afield.
"High-speed fibre broadband is transforming rural communities, making it easier for people to return home, stay connected, and thrive,” he said
“Families can live closer to loved ones without sacrificing opportunities, businesses can expand through e-commerce and remote work, and farmers can embrace smart technology to enhance their operations.”
NBI has passed 337,000 properties thus far, with the goal of connecting 1,100,000 people nationwide.
