Sky Ireland Live on SIRO network

SIRO has welcomed Sky Ireland to its family of retail partners offering its Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) broadband, with services now available to order in over 20 towns across the country. As the fastest growing broadband provider in the country, the decision to offer services powered by SIRO supports Sky’s roadmap for increased on-demand content services, which require high broadband bandwidth requirements.

 

SIRO Broadband

SIRO, the open-access wholesale broadband provider delivering Ireland’s first 100% fibre-optic broadband network to 50 towns nationwide, has passed over 200,000 premises in its rollout to date. SIRO’s 100% fibre-optic technology is recognised as the gold standard for broadband connectivity internationally and is the fastest growing segment of the Irish broadband market with FTTH connections nearly doubling since the start of 2018 (Source: ComReg Q3 data)

Using the existing ESB network, SIRO builds dedicated fibre-optic cables all the way to the home or business. This technology, known as “Fibre-to-the-Home” delivers internet connection speeds of 1 Gigabit per second. SIRO’s Gigabit connectivity is 26 times faster than the average broadband speeds in Ireland.
