Who Are Magnet+?

Originally founded in 2004, Magnet+ has grown to be recognised as Ireland's leading telecoms company, offering broadband and phone services to thousands of homes and businesses.

Who Owns Magnet Broadband Ireland?

Today, Magnet+ is owned by the Irish Infrastructure Fund's Speed Fibre Group, which purchased the company in December of 2020. The group, which also owns and operates AirSpeed Telecom, unified its residential and business brands under the Magnet+ name (formerly Magnet Networks).

Since its inception, Magnet+ has invested more than €120 million in developing its own telecommunication network. It claims to provide Ireland's fastest broadband speeds and to be the largest provider of fibre to the home (FTTH) in the country.

What is FTTH? Fibre to the home (FTTH), or fibre to the premises (FTTP), is the installation of optical fibre cables all the way to your home. In comparison to fibre to the cabinet (FTTC), in which the fibre-optic cables only reach the roadside cabinet and the connection must then pass through copper wires to the house, FTTH promises less buffering and a much faster internet speed at up to 100 megabits per second.
