What is fibre broadband?

Fibre broadband delivers high-speed broadband to your home using a network of fibre-optic cables.

Access to fibre broadband in Ireland has become much more widespread and affordable in the last few years, with all 26 counties connected to a fibre network.

It’s the fastest broadband connection available in Ireland, with three providers (eir, Sky, and Virgin Media) now delivering speeds of up to 5Gbps (5 gigabits) on their networks.

Why choose fibre broadband?

The main advantages of fibre broadband are fast speeds, reliability and quality of the internet connection.
You may want to consider superfast fibre broadband if you:

  • have a large household with many devices connected at the same time
  • stream movies and TV or use catch-up services
  • work from home and need reliable, fast access to the internet
  • play online games

How does full fibre broadband work?

It uses fibre optic cables, which run underground, to deliver superfast broadband to homes and businesses.

These fibre cables transmit data faster than copper wires, boosting broadband speed. There are two main types of fibre broadband connection:

  1. Fibre to the Home (FTTH) also known as full-fibre, is the fastest type of fibre connection.
  2. Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) is also called part-fibre.
