Ireland making slow progress on broadband

IRELAND is making slow progress when it comes to rolling out broadband services, according to statistics released by the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development.

The OECD’s figures on broadband penetration showed Ireland in a mid-ranking 13th place when it comes to increasing the number of subscribers in 2010.

Progress has been made, with a penetration percentage increase of 8% last year, or 1.57 new subscribers per 100 inhabitants.
