About Broadband in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland is one of the first regions in Europe to have 100% broadband penetration – this means  that every home has access to broadband internet access in one form or another – this may be ADSL (over traditional phone lines), Cable (mainly in Belfast and major towns/cities) or of course Mobile Broadband.

The highest speed is available in Belfast - and indeed the largest variety of broadband providers and packages. Most, if not all, consumers seeking broadband in Belfast have access to cable broadband, e.g. Virgin Media, which provides speeds of up to 50Mbps and can be combined as part of a cable TV package to offer even greater value for money - Sky also offer a Sky Broadband / TV package.

For those in search of the highest speeds available it is worth noting that BT are trialing 100Mbps high speed broadband on some exchanges in the Belfast area with a view to rolling it out in various other exchanges so the furture for high speed broadband in Northern Ireland is bright. To see the top providers available in the greater Belfast area visit the Broadband Belfast page.

The use of Mobile Broadband in Northern Ireland is becoming increasingly popular and coverage is improving all the time. To find out more visit the Mobile Broadband Northern Ireland page of the site, there you will find information on speeds, coverage and a wide slection of Mobile Broadband packages - some actually include a free laptop or netbook as part of the deal.
