Internet speed ‘is on the rise’

Broadband is becoming increasingly prevalent in Ireland while speeds are also picking up, according to a new report from the country’s communications regulator.

ComReg’s latest quarterly report points towards an increase in fixed broadband subscriptions which are now almost 5% higher than in the same period last year.

In the second quarter of 2015, subscriptions climbed 1.2% on the previous three-month period and stood at 1.29m at the end of June.
