Check broadband availability near you

Broadband availability in Sligo can vary depending on where you live. Larger towns often have faster fibre connections, while some rural areas may have fewer providers to choose from.

If full fibre is not available at your address, part-fibre, mobile or satellite broadband may still provide a reliable connection.

You can check broadband availability using your Eircode to see:

• Which providers serve your address
• What speeds are available
• The deals you can choose from
• Whether full fibre is available

Is SIRO available in Sligo?

SIRO has already rolled out their network to many places in Sligo. The SIRO network allows for some of the fastest speeds in Ireland - up to 2,000Mbps - but it isn’t available in all areas yet.

Full fibre is now widely available and affordable, but if your area doesn’t have access yet, you may be able to get a part fibre connection (speeds up to 100Mbps) or one of these alternatives:

• Mobile broadband uses your existing 4G or 5G mobile network to connect
• Satellite broadband uses a satellite dish and can connect any home, including those in rural Ireland
• ADSL broadband legacy option using an existing home phone line to provide a connection of up to 24Mbps

What is the fastest broadband in Sligo?

Fibre is the fastest type of broadband available in Sligo, with some areas able to access full fibre connections offering speeds of up to 1Gbps or more.

Some towns have access to the SIRO or OpenEir fibre networks, while other areas may rely on part-fibre or mobile broadband depending on coverage.

The fastest broadband available to you will depend on the network serving your address.

What is the cheapest broadband in Sligo?

The cheapest broadband deals in Sligo will depend on what providers serve your address and the type of connection available in your area.

Lower-cost plans may offer slower speeds or longer contract terms, while faster fibre packages usually cost more but provide better performance.

When comparing deals, consider the speed you need, the contract length and whether you want extras such as TV bundles or call packages.
