Sceala Irish Craic Forum Discussion:     What is the fastest broadband in Ireland

I thought we were going to be at the cutting edge of broadband speeds and quality.
We can get... 30mb broadband. This was the fastest broadband speed in Ireland.... it will be a short lived fastest speed record.
UPC to launch broadband for towns in midlands and west
Cable Television and telecoms provider UPC Ireland is set to launch high-speed broadband in six towns in the midlands and west of the country over the next three weeks following a €15 million upgrade to its network.
Sligo, Mullingar, Athlone, Newbridge, Carlow and Portlaoise are all set to receive UPC’s fibre-powered broadband and digital and high definition TV services via its cable network.
This will allow homes in these towns to receive broadband speeds of up to 30MB – the fastest available in the country – and will also provide competition to Eircom’s fixed-line telephone services in these areas.
UPC said the investment would make its fibre-powered services available to an additional 45,000 homes, bringing its total for the country to 550,000. This follows a €300 million-plus upgrade of its cable network in recent years.
“This is the completion of a three-year investment programme in these six towns that has seen us completely overhaul and rebuild the cable networks,” said Mark Coan, UPC’s sales and marketing director.
Mr Coan said householders would be able to receive an additional 60 digital TV stations as a result of the upgrade. “Customers will now be able to see the World Cup in HD on the BBC,” he said.
The roll-out will take place over the next three weeks, with Portlaoise the last of the six towns for upgrade on June 22nd.
UPC has been making significant inroads in the broadband and fixed-line markets in recent times.
At the end of March 2010, it had 160,000 broadband customers here, making it the number two player in the market behind Eircom.

But if you are in Dublin... 150mb will be possible in 2011
Eircom to trial ultra fast broadband
Eircom is investing €20m in a trial to see how consumers and business take to 'ultra fast' fibre broadband. This would allow much faster broadband speeds of up to 150 mega bits per second.
The trial, to take place early next year, will deliver fibre broadband to 10,000 homes and businesses in Sandyford in Co Dublin and in Wexford town.
Eircom is also allowing its competitors access to the technology in the hopes that the trials will lead to them jointly building a fibre based network around the country.
The company aims to assess what it will cost to build the new generation infrastructure, and to understand how customers will interact with it, which services and applications they like and how it changes their habits.
'This investment underlines Eircom's commitment to test new technologies at scale and will help determine the technological requirements and regulatory frameworks that are necessary across the whole country in support of the future economy for Ireland,' commented Eircom's CEO Paul Donovan.
