Under the terms of the National Broadband Scheme (NBS) contract, the NBS Service Provider, 3, is obliged to establish the infrastructure and make the specified NBS services available to fixed businesses and residences within the NBS Coverage Area. The rollout of the provision of NBS services advanced incrementally over a 22-month period and was completed in October 2010.

In line with the NBS contract, broadband services are now available to all premises within each of the 1,028 designated NBS Electoral Divisions (ED), including those in County Galway. A list of the EDs covered in County Galway is set out as follows. As part of its commitment to deliver a total of 389 NBS sites, 5 sites in County Galway remain to be constructed and integrated into 3's NBS network.
