Broadband cost in Ireland among highest in Europe

The challenges facing the faltering national broadband plan (NBP) have been exacerbated by a report highlighting how costs in Ireland are among the highest in the EU despite much poorer speeds.

Studies carried out by BDRC Continental and Cable.co.uk found that Ireland is the third most expensive country in the EU for broadband but is only the 22nd fastest. Ireland ranks behind only Malta and Luxembourg when it comes to broadband costs among EU members.
