Who Is Regional Broadband Ireland?

image of a thinking person

Regional Broadband Ireland is one of a growing number of rural broadband specialists such as Rural WiFi and Rural Broadband who are focused on making sure that the areas of Ireland that have been traditionally deprived of strong broadband connections, can access the modern and fast services that they need.

Rural Broadbands offers come in various forms, with both fixed-line and wireless broadband options, combined with the ability to add a landline connection, or even having broadband without a landline. These options are available to both residential and business customers.

What Types of Broadband Do Regional Broadband Ireland Offer?

Regional broadband currently offers its services in one of two forms: fibre or fixed wireless broadband. Each of these types has very different capabilities and can vary in their appropriateness depending on your property's scenario.

Fibre is the fastest type of broadband, with speeds ranging from an average of 100 Mbps for part-fibre connections (FTTC or Fibre To The Cabinet), all the way up to a potential 2 Gbps for full fibre (FTTP/H or Fiber To The Property/Home). To avail of these services, a fibre optic cable must be installed connecting the network distributor either directly to your home, or to a street cabinet, from which copper cables will run the remaining distance to your house.

Fixed wireless broadband, however, does not require a fixed-wired connection. Typically, fixed wireless broadband (also known as WTTX or Wireless To The X) refers to systems that pick up 4G and 5G signals, much like your mobile phone, and then reemits these signals as a WiFi signal. This makes them ideally suited for rural locations that cannot access traditional fixed-line networks, but unfortunately aren't as fast as fibre, with average speeds in the region of 100 to 200 Mbps.

Regional Broadband Plans

Now onto the important bit, what Regional Broadband can offer you.

One thing worth noting before we dive in is that Regional Broadband plans are not available on their website without having to input mandatory details such as your full name, mobile number, email address and eircode. While the eircode is required to check the local availability of plans, by filling in the remaining details, you also agree to be contacted by Regional Broadband within the next business day to discuss your options. A bit offputting for the casual browser.

This could also prove tricky if you would rather just browse through Regional broadband's general offerings, don’t have access to your eircode or are in the process of moving to Ireland, and don’t have a property organised just yet... Nevertheless, here are the Regional Broadband Ireland plans that we have managed to hunt down for you.

Prices correct at date of publication 16/08/2022

Regional Broadband plans that include a phone are subject to a 1000 minute call-time limit to any landline or mobile within Ireland. With the international plan, you can call any landline or mobile network within the EU, with the same 1000-minute limit.

As we have mentioned, further deals may be available depending upon your eircode. Rural Broadband also advertises Regional Gigabit Fibre as an available package with speeds of up to 1 Gbps, however, prices are not listed on the webpage for this.

Regional Broadband Reviews

Before investing in a contract, it is also important to understand how a company's customers view them. Most companies will of course declare that they focus on providing excellent customer service, but by checking review sites such as Trustpilot, we can often find that that may not necessarily be the case.

Regional Broadband, however, scores relatively well, with a current 3.5 out of 5 score from 92 Google reviews, and 3.3 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 3 reviews. While this score may not seem that great, most broadband providers rank between 1.5 and 2.5 out of 5 on review sites, so Rural Broadbands above average score is a good indicator.

Reviewers often praise the fast speeds and positive customer service experiences. On the negative side, a common theme also appears to be varying levels of reliability and weekend closures leaving customers in the lurch if their broadband goes down.

How does your company rate? Check our broadband provider reviews page to find out who’s hot, and who’s not.
