People are going online and finding out they must wait. People in areas in County Limerick such as Lisnagry are being told they will be waiting three or four years. Will NBI be updating its system to say when they will get it? The final point for me is whether an opportunity will be provided in gap intervention areas if this self-install comes. I know it will expedite the roll-out. In terms of using and plugging into the existing Eir network for backhaul in those rural areas, could it expedite the roll-out of broadband to those areas?
