Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland

Mr. Peter Hendrick:

In the deployment areas we have completed, there is 30% take-up in the first six months. That is ahead of where we originally expected to be, but also ahead of the typical market now.

People working from home has had a big impact, but the demand for bandwidth has definitely increased. Internet usage is up 60% over the past 12 months globally. We know the demand for bandwidth is there.
