Ms Carolan Lennon:

The same speed. Everything is the same, except that they would be charged €170 to connect under the 300,000 model, and €100 under the NBI model. We would charge the same regulated fibre price we charge the rest of our customers, while the NBI proposal is to cap it at €30. While fibre is great with lightning and water and so the repair levels are much lower, if repairs were needed, 85% of repairs would be done within two days on the 300,000 model, whereas that figure is 90% with the NBI model, so people would potentially get quicker repairs.
