Regional Broadband

What Regional Broadband does

Regional Broadband (trading name of Regional Telecom Limited, Company No. 397148) is an Irish retail telecommunications service provider delivering residential and business broadband across all 26 counties of Ireland, with deliberate specialization in rural and hard-to-reach locations where larger ISPs (Sky, Virgin Media, Eir) decline to serve. The company's core technology stack is a multi-wholesale, multi-access network aggregating Open Eir, Siro, Enet, and EutelSAT alongside its own Fixed Wireless Access (up to 700Mbps) and Regional Gigabit Fibre (up to 2Gbps), with 5G Mobile Broadband, VDSL, and satellite used as fallbacks or for temporary sites. A managed-services layer extends the offering with VoIP, Managed Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6), SD-WAN, Next-Generation Firewall and managed security, Failover Internet, and NB-IoT / LoRaWAN IoT solutions; construction-site broadband is offered under a dedicated sub-brand.

Revenue is generated through monthly recurring subscriptions for residential and business broadband, equipment rental and replacement fees, and managed-service contracts (VoIP, Wi-Fi, security, IoT). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; an annual price adjustment of €3.50 per month applies to fixed and wireless broadband starting April 2026, replacing a prior CPI+3% indexation. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: an online coverage-check form captures top-of-funnel leads, phone-based sales (01 513 3042) and dedicated business account managers convert them, and a self-serve portal (my.regionalbroadband.ie) handles post-sale account management. Customer segments span residential long-tail, SMBs across Ireland, rural enterprises served under the National Broadband Plan, and a vertical niche in construction/civil engineering.

The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A, parent, or subsidiary relationships, operating with 11-50 employees from offices in Sandyford (Dublin 18), Blackrock, and Dundalk. Ownership appears to be founder or closely-held, with no public listing. Brand visibility is reinforced through Google and Facebook testimonials emphasizing rural coverage and same-day or sub-hour service response, and through active content marketing on broadband, failover, and IoT topics.
