NBI are required to provide a minimum service of 500Mbps to all end users under the Contract with the Minister. The network NBI have deployed is capable of delivering speeds far in excess of this minimum speed. NBI monitor the performance of their network on a 24/7/365 day of the year basis. Should speeds fall below the minimum required then NBI is required to notify the Department and provide a plan to remediate any issues arising that may have caused the breach, however no such breach has occurred to date.
