The main thing I am interested in is whether it is value for money for people who are on marginal incomes and who might want broadband. Will they be able to afford it? We understand that they will be charged the same to bring it to a certain point. If, however, it is only outside their door, for example, and there is a minimum charge of approximately €100 to connect, the reason they are not connecting may well be because it will add to the cost.
