Nearly 5,000 businesses in the North will be among the first companies to receive superfast broadband.
Rainbow Telecom will provide Bangor, Lisburn and Balmoral with the Next Generation Superfast Broadband with a goal of reaching 85pc of companies in the next year.
Rainbow was the only company offering the premier service for free, said director Eric Carson.
“From today, new business customers can take advantage of broadband speeds of up to 24MB through our 39 exchanges throughout Northern Ireland,” he said.
“We want to help Northern Ireland businesses say goodbye to slow connection speeds and become more competitive.”
