Broadband in Limerick villages

enfant terrible

I remember 40 villages were to be upgraded to fibre broadband as reported in the Limerick Leader over a year ago.

Anybody been upgraded yet?

This is what I'm getting through my server (2008R2) using a wireless repeater bridge from the main router in the house:



Wired to the main router I'm getting around 95Mb down.

National Broadband Plan (NBP), still in the planning stage, has to go to tender yet. Might be available by 2020.

The plan is at about step 2, preliminary discussions underway with the EU Commission regarding state aid approval.
