Digiweb acquires Internet Ireland

Broadband provider Digiweb has today announced the acquisition of rival Internet Ireland.

Internet Ireland services offered include web hosting, data centre colocation, managed email solutions, broadband and leased lines.

Personnel with Internet Ireland will be transferred to Digiweb’s Dublin offices and data centre during coming weeks.

This deal follows the recent announcement of Smart Telecom’s addition to the Digiweb Group.

Digiweb said that clients of Internet Ireland will benefit through access to the wider portfolio of services and national Next Generation network infrastructure of Digiweb Group, including fibre and wireless broadband, leased lines, high speed DSL, telephony and VOIP, and private networks.

"We are looking forward to welcoming Internet Ireland’s customers and staff to Digiweb and integrating these long established Irish telecoms businesses," said Dan King, hosting and managed services manager with Digiweb.

"Building on the skills, expertise and resources of both companies we will provide our customers greater value, choice, and a single one-stop provider for all business IT and connectivity requirements."

Marc Lynch, sales director with Internet Ireland welcomed the new development for his customers and staff.

"Digiweb have an established track record and like ourselves are long-term players in the Irish hosting and telecoms industry and we feel our customers will benefit from our combined experience and expertise," he said.

"Together, we look forward to playing a greater part in Ireland’s telecoms and hosting environment."
