Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland
Mr. Peter Hendrick:
We have up to 2% of premises where we can look at an alternative technology. We approach this on the basis of cost. Since the costs to date have been within the envelope of what we expected them to be, we have not sought to go with an alternative technology. Over the lifetime of the project, one cannot beat fibre for future proofing. If we went with an alternative technology, could we future proof the end customer connection? Due to the cost of the build being where we expected it to be, that has not been something that we have needed to install.
