In relation to the premises referred to in this Question and following on from the reply given to Question no. 216 of 21 March 2023, a detailed analysis undertaken by the Department’s technical team has confirmed that the premises referred to in the question is not currently capable of obtaining high-speed broadband through commercial means.
This premises had to go under a reclassification process which required a formal change procedure to be undertaken. This has now been completed and the next step is for this premises to be included in the next update to the NBI broadband map.
NBI identify new premises via Geo-directory Updates which are added to the NBP Intervention Area on a quarterly basis. NBI then undertake an assessment of the new premises and determine what is required for them to be connected to the NBI network in the area. Depending on the outcome of that assessment process the premises may be part of a future planned build programme, or there may be additional work required to connect the property to the network if the network build has already begun. The assessment will determine the date for final connection.
