Full fibre broadband operator Fibrus has launched Northern Ireland’s fastest broadband service at 2 Gigabits per second (Gbps) with customers in Rathfriland being the first to be able to avail of the service. Premises on Drumarkin Road and Iveagh Park Road are now connected and Fibrus is currently updating its website with the 2 Gbps package details and addresses able to avail of this new broadband package in Rathfriland.
Access technology provider Nokia plans to release its upgrade roll out schedule in due course to allow consumers a view as to when they can upgrade to the new services.
The provider has been busy rolling out its upgrades that will see its network now support a staggering 10GB per second, some *50 times faster than Northern Ireland’s average speed.
The new network will use XGS-PON technology, which will further future proof its services in an age when streaming, high definition, 5G and other emerging technologies are continually pushing bandwidth demands. The technology is also a major boost for businesses for enabling multiple solutions including continuity services, real-time backup recovery, and replication of critical business applications across multiple sites.
Fibrus Sales Director Mark Woolner said “Offering our customers the best in class broadband services is what we pride ourselves on as a company. The demand for higher speed services is growing and we see consumers connecting more and more devices and consuming much more data.”
