Speaking from Portrush Fibrus Managing Director David Armstrong said: “Fibrus was established to enhance the lives of those living in towns like Portrush, Portstewart and Ballycastle. For too long, rural and regional areas on the North Coast have gone without decent connectivity opportunities, despite being a hub for local business and of course, local tourism hospitality and attractions.

“The need and demand for online connectivity has been accelerated by the recent ‘Stay at Home’ message, with more and more families working from home, accessing school lessons online and enjoying streaming services for entertainment, proving that access to broadband has become like any other utility. To modern homes and businesses, it is as essential as your electricity and heating.

“The arrival of full fibre broadband on the North Coast will revolutionise the way families and businesses go about their day-to-day lives and benefit those visiting the world renowned tourist areas. We’re really excited to see more and more rural communities are getting connected to our new transformative network.”
