Three areas in Co Tipperary are among 66 communities nationwide that will be included in Eircom's plans to expand its broadband speeds.
The company has announced that it will significantly increase broadband speeds available on its fibre broadband network by offering one gigabit connectivity to the 66 selected locations.
As a result homes and businesses in these areas will have access to a broadband connection in Co Tipperary that was previously only available to larger enterprises.
Clonmel Nenagh and Roscrea have been chosen as the communities in Co Tipperary that will benefit.
Work on the network will begin next month and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2017
