Ireland lagging behind in terms of access to broadband
According to a report published today from the European Commission's annual Digital Agenda Scoreboard, Ireland is still lagging behind in terms of access to superfast broadband.
The research shows that Ireland is performing well in term of provision of basic broadband to over 97% of the population - the EU average is 95.5%.
The study indicates that Ireland faces a challenge in the area of superfast broadband. Currently 42% of Irish homes can subscribe to superfast broadband services, putting the country in 27th place out of the 31 countries covered by the EU Commission scoreboard.
The EU has set a target that all citizens can get access to superfast broadband at home by 2020.
