Munster’s number 1 rated Broadband provider, Nova Broadband has announced huge expansion plans today, revealing that it will be expanding its scope across a large proportion of the country in the coming months.

Due to popular demand, the Cork based company has invested heavily, over €250,000, into broadening its customer base beyond Munster and into areas such as Limerick, Tipperary, Kilkenny, Laois and Waterford in the first phase of its expansion throughout Ireland.

The expansion will mean rural broadband customers, who have suffered for years with slow fixed line, 3G and satellite broadband, unable to conduct business or enjoy online entertainment, will finally get relief and investment into their broadband service which to date has been ignored and extremely poor in many areas.

Speaking about the expansion, Managing Director of Nova Broadband, Dave Mc Donald said “I started the business in 2004 when I saw the problems people in low density rural areas were experiencing with poor broadband service. I knew I could provide an excellent broadband service for the people in those areas and so went on to set up Nova Broadband, which started off with just me, a one man show. Eleven years on, we are thriving and solving broadband problems for residential users right up to multinationals and are continuously growing at a rate we could not have predicted. We are going from strength to strength achieving record months every month and double-digit growth in the last three years.”

Dave continued “As we have grown, so has our demand and so we feel now is the right time to broaden the service we offer outside of Munster. For years people have been asking us when we are going to offer our service throughout Ireland and now we are delighted to announce that we finally are. We are very excited about the expansion and looking forward to solving many peoples’ years’ old problem of poor broadband service.”

The role out of the first phase of the expansion is expected to be completed in July 2015 and once the expansion plans are complete it is expected that over 20 new jobs will be created.

To coincide with the expansion, Nova Broadband will embark on a roadshow up the country stopping in major towns, including Abbeyleix, Laois, Kilkenny, Clonmel, Urlingford, Thurles and Cashel, plus many more where they will be on hand to meet new customers and answer any questions.
