New figures released on Monday by NBI confirm that 102,888 premises - including homes, farms and businesses - had been passed with fibre optic cables by December 16th, enabling them to connect to high-speed broadband.National Broadband Ireland , the company charged with the roll-out of the €3 billion National Broadband Plan, has ‘passed’ more than 102,000 homes, meaning that they are now ready to connect to the network.
It was originally planned that 204,000 premises would have the fibre network installed and ready for connection by the end of January 2023. The Government revised this target downwards to 102,000 premises by the end of this month due to construction delays caused by Covid-19. However, Mark Griffin, secretary general at the Department of Communications, told the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee last October that NBI was likely to meet that target one month ahead of schedule.

IrishTimes Starlight is the way
How long has this shite been going on now and they have not even connected the houses ffs.
It means the Government are getting something right. Very few countries in Europe offer fiber to every household. It’s ahead of schedule. Well done!
IrishTimes It's hard to understand this. These people have continuously missed all their targets. The cable infrastructure has been outside my house for 4 years. Yet today, I cannot get a connection date?
ready. what does that mean?
