Eir: Rural broadband delay remains unclear

Eir is one of the frontrunners for the lucrative National Broadband Plan contract.

The company has contradicted the minister responsible for its implementation by claiming it remains unclear as to how long rural home and business owners will have to wait for high-speed broadband.

The Irish telecom said the exact delay in the provision of high-speed broadband to rural areas under the National Broadband Plan needs to be clarified.
