Galway Bay FM Newsroom - Roscommon/Galway Deputy Denis Naughten has confirmed that National Broadband Ireland is currently completing construction of its fibre optic broadband network in East Galway and South Roscommon and more than 3,000 homes in the countryside around Ballinasloe will be able to start getting high-speed fibre broadband from October.
Deputy Naughten said that of those 3100 premises, 700 can be connected from next month with more coming on stream including the next stage that will include the rest of Roscommon and moving into Galway County.
The deputy however, was also critical of the speed of the rollout and has called on the Government to fast track the implementation of the plan.
