Eir has announced the locations of about 100,000 homes in up to 200 areas that will receive high-speed broadband in the year ahead.

The move is part of the company’s commitment to extend high-speed broadband of up to 1,000 Mb/s to a further 300,000 homes and businesses to reach a total of 1.9m premises by the end of 2020.

Some 1.4m homes and businesses can already access high-speed broadband and the company said it remains on target to reach 1.7m premises by this time next year.
