Repro Free No Charge for Repro 7-3-2022Piltown-Fiddown is Ireland’s first community to build its own Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network, giving householders and business owners access to at least 150MB speeds and a future-proofed high-speed broadband service they own, run and can afford.

It’s in a bid to bring a dedicated broadband service to to other towns and villages across the county.

Starting tonight in Freshford workshops will be run to spread the story of the origins of the project.

Declan Rice, CEO of the Kilkenny Leader Partnership told KCLR News what people can expect from the workshops:

“We will talk you through the Piltown story, what is possible and how it can be done. And then if that works out we’re planning to have a seminar morning and early afternoon on the 19 November in Piltown to see exactly what they’ve done”
