“Effectively what ComReg is telling us is 76pc of the online population has yet to sign up for broadband. That means that there’s a lot of people with PCs so claiming a lack of PCs does not explain why Ireland is so far behind on broadband,” Hickey said.

“Price, demand, competition and availability are the real reasons. Competition is key to it all. Where you’ve got competition you’re going to have price competition. The other key is availability. The LLU process looks like it will be delayed for a long time.
