Re: Internet speed
Agree with Derek above
Am in Beverton and we have Eir fibre, the only issue in addition we have is that the broadband seems to drop a few times a day. Its only about a minute but very annoying when you are WFH

Looks like another community action group was successful in overturning a large scale development.
Hopefully they will see sense in relation to this proposed development as well.
