How to Use a Broadband Checker to Find Fibre Availability in Ireland

If you’re ready to install or upgrade to faster, more reliable fibre broadband in Ireland, the first step is to check whether it’s available at your address and Eircode. That’s where the Aptus Coverage Checker comes in. With just your Eircode, you can instantly find out if home broadband internet over fibre is ready for you, and if it’s not, you can register for updates and explore other options.

 

 

What is the Aptus Fibre Broadband Coverage Checker?

The Aptus Coverage Checker is a quick and simple online tool designed to show you what broadband services are available at your home. By entering your Eircode, you’ll get an instant view of:

Eircodes and Fibre Broadband in Ireland

Eircodes (national postcode system) were officially launched in Ireland in 2015 to address the issue of non-unique addresses (for which Ireland is famous), with the goal of improving address accuracy for services (Fibre Broadband as an example) and deliveries (couriers etc)

Eircodes play a major role in the rollout of fibre broadband across Ireland with the major wholesale fibre providers (eg OpenEir, NBI, Siro) utilising eircodes to track and manage the delivery of their fibre broadband services, so in order to check if Fibre Broadband is available to you all you need is your Eircode and a reliable Coverage Checker.

New Premises and Eircode Importance

If you are building a new house / premises (especially a one off construction), and wish to have Fibre Broadband available then it is very important to get an Eircode for this premises as soon as possible(don’t wait until the construction is completed) as this is the first step required for the wholesale fibre providers to start the planning of putting infrastructure in place for your premises.
