Ardee
Ardee is to become Ireland’s third “fibre town” with a fibre connection directly into every business in the town’s centre.
The move is being facilitate by Enet, the company that holds the concession to manage, maintain and operate two phases of the Irish State’s Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) programme.
A spokesman for Enet said that the fibre broadband activation can deliver speeds of 250Mbs.
The MAN infrastructure is in place in 94 towns and cities across the country, with fibre optic cables delivered directly into premises.
The move comes as Eir and Siro promise new fibre broadband services into Irish towns across the country.
Eir says that 23,000 homes and businesses around the country are already able to receive its 1,000Mbs fibre broadband service and that it will roll this service out to 1.9m premises around the country.
