What Happened to Bigblu?

Bigblu was previously the largest distributor of satellite broadband in Europe, connecting over 115,000 customers in rural communities. In autumn 2020, Eutelsat acquired Bigblu for approximately €38 million.

Following the acquisition, Bigblu ceased accepting new domestic customers. The service transitioned to Eutelsat's Konnect brand, which has also since stopped accepting new residential customers. Bigblu Broadband Ireland Limited is now in liquidation.
