Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. James O'Sullivan:

A decent wireless router such as a FRITZ!Box or something that will deliver good WiFi throughout a house costs about €80 plus VAT. We then have to add a margin. We are not 100% sure if there is to be a connection fee but I understand there will be a connection fee of €100 for a house. All of that has to be built into a 12-month contract. Our concern is that all these customers will not pay €60 a month or more for their broadband service. The take-up will be smaller than expected and someone will be forced into selling themselves.
