NBI vs Other Providers — Cost Comparison
Here's how NBI through WebWorld compares to other broadband options in Ireland:
500Mbps – 2Gbps
Full fibre, no phone line needed, free router, 100% Irish owned. No hidden fees.
100Mbps – 1Gbps
Available in urban/suburban areas. May require phone line on some plans.
250Mbps – 1Gbps
Cable network in cities. Requires TV bundle to get best deals. No NBI coverage.
50Mbps – 250Mbps
Available everywhere. High latency, weather-dependent. Pricier than fibre.
Is NBI Worth the Cost?
For rural and underserved Ireland, NBI is often the only game in town — and at €50–€70/month for up to 2Gbps, it compares favourably to urban packages that deliver a fraction of the speed.
Key considerations:
- Value: €70/month for 2Gbps is excellent — city dwellers on Virgin Media pay similar rates for slower speeds
- Reliability: FTTP is far more reliable than copper or wireless alternatives
- Future-proofing: Full fibre infrastructure will remain relevant for decades
- No phone line: Saves €20–€30/month in line rental if you're on a copper line
