Our network is better than the alternatives as it is powered entirely by light, future-proofing the country’s broadband needs for decades,” said Sean Atkinson, CEO, Siro. “Our ambition is to become the new national telecoms infrastructure. We want to migrate Ireland from legacy copper based networks to 100% fibre-optic networks, this will ensure that people across the country can avail of next generation services and drive the economy forward.”
Declan Campbell, managing director, Digiweb, said: “This is a different kind of Internet and we are delighted to be offering our customers the choice. It will be great to be able to offer our customers Siro powered broadband packages of up to 1Gb/s, enabling us to deliver one of the most powerful broadband services available in Ireland.
