Broadband connections are now available for more than 200,000 homes, farms and businesses across the country.
National Broadband Ireland says it means well over a third of the premises its targeted, now have access to the high-speed fibre infrastructure.
While three in five have now moved to or through the construction phase under the National Broadband Plan.
Sixty thousand premises have connected, with the average take-up rate well ahead of projections and international comparisons.
