While eircom has this week confirmed it plans to launch its high speed fibre broadband network in 28 regions on May 20th, a spokesperson for the company could not give a definite date that would see the high speed service rolled out to the areas around Fermoy and Mitchelstown.

“I cannot find an exact date for Fermoy and Mitchelstown but as Mallow and Midleton are in progress at the moment for Fibre Broadband, then the next phase of areas by size are the medium towns such as Fermoy , Mitchelstown, Youghal etc.,” the spokesperson said.
The new fibre broadband network will mean a significant rise in available broadband speeds for premises within the fibre footprint and further increases in speed are planned.

While broadband speeds at launch will reach up to 70Mb per second, eircom expects this to rise to 100 Mb per second within twelve months through further technical enhancement, transforming the broadband experience for homes and businesses. So, watch this space for further updates!
