    My wife and I are looking at buying a house on the outskirts of Roscommon Town. We like the house but it doesn't have access to broadband faster than about 11-12MBps over the phone lines. SIRO have Roscommon Town down as "planned" but no idea when that will be.

    I spoke with Imagine who provide coverage but I'm not convinced as to the quality of their product. Are there any other options we should be considering? At a bare minimum I think I want about 30Mbps down and something with decent latency.

    I've checked the NBI rollout map and this house isn't down for intervention as there is someone in the area providing a service over 30MBps. I presume this is Imagine?

    Have you checked eir's fibre coverage map? https://fibrerollout.ie/ The Green areas already have Gigabit Fibre-to-the-home, and the blue areas have Fibre-to-the Cabinet (up to 100Mbps). Perhaps the previous occupants hadn't bothered upgrading to fibre, even if it was available? It is a big mistake to buy a house that doesn't have a proven availability of decent Broadband, or that is dependent on patchy wireless service. There are plenty of houses that already have access to Fibre-to-the-home. If the house you are looking at doesn't have fibre-to-the-home, you should seriously think about choosing a different home nearby that has.
