National Broadband Plan Roll-out: Discussion
Mr. Peter Hendrick:
That is correct. We will notify which operators have on boarded and gone through all of our systems tests. When consumers go to that operator's website and inputs their address or Eircode they will be told a service is available, such as that 500 Mbps is available. Depending on the retail operator, it may state it is National Broadband Ireland or another operator but the service will be available. As we pass over the blue areas, any homes left behind will benefit from our roll-out programme because we are starting from the inside out because of the topology of the network. People will be able to go to the websites of the retail operators and place an order and determine whether they are in or out. Equally, if people input their address or Eircode on our website they will be able to determine whether they are in the intervention area or the commercial excluded area.
