NBI is rolling out high-speed fibre broadband under the Government's National Broadband Plan.
Those who are now connected are guaranteed minimum speeds of 5 hundred megabits per second.
The plan has been described by those in charge as a 2.7 billion euro investment in rural Ireland.
CEO of NBI, Peter Hendrick, says they're reaching milestones every month:
"Every month the number is increasing constructing fibre outside of homes of 26 counties and we're connecting the homes all over the country.
"It's a major achievement that we've now got almost 200 thousand premises under construction - over 70 thousand of those houses can place an order.
"And we're connecting just over 2,000 farms, businesses and homes across the country per month. "
