After a previously announced objective to improve broadband availability and take-up, Eircom today said it was taking all broadband orders placed within the five main urban areas of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Galway.
Eircom said customers whose telephone lines had previously failed to qualify for broadband should contact it to have their lines re-tested.
The company also said it had extended the reach of broadband availability resulting in an additional 24,000 customers who now qualify for broadband.
In November 2006, Eircom announced a €300m investment on telecoms infrastructure projects over the next three years, in addition to previously announced spending of €750m.
