The provision of telecommunications services, including broadband, is a matter in the first instance for the private sector companies operating in a fully liberalised market, regulated by the independent Commission for Communications Regulation, ComReg. Issues relating to the delivery of broadband services, including connection speeds, are an operational matter for service providers.
