Broadband services are provided by private service providers over various platforms including DSL (i.e. over the telephone lines), fixed wireless, mobile, cable, satellite and fibre.

Details of broadband availability from service providers together with the availability of broadband services in specific areas, including areas in County Leitrim and County Sligo are available at www.broadband.gov.ie. I would add that information contained on this website is provided by the service providers.

As regards the National Broadband Scheme (NBS), interested parties can verify, using their specific Electoral Division (ED) Reference Number (which is available from their local authority) whether their specific area falls within the NBS coverage area. The current service status of each ED within the NBS coverage area is available at www.three.ie/nbs.
