People are being asked to check if their addresses to see if they are able to get faster broadband.
The Department for the Economy is asking people to use an online address check to see if they are eligible for improved broadband connectivity by July 6.
This includes all members of the public, businesses, groups and organisations and telecom infrastructure providers.

It is part of a public review by the department as part of the planned implementation of Project Gigabit in Northern Ireland.
Gigabit capable broadband requires infrastructure and technology solutions capable of delivering one gigabit, which is equivalent to 1,000 Mbps.
The department has said that the public review is important as it seeks to ensure that the intervention area for Project Gigabit – that is the areas potentially eligible for future improved broadband connectivity - is as accurate as possible.
The address checker is available on nidirect at www.nidirect.gov.uk/broadbandconnectivity.
A DfE spokesperson said: "Project Gigabit will aim to bring into scope any sub-30 Mbps premises that cannot benefit from Project Stratum.
"Fast and reliable broadband, in every part of Northern Ireland, is essential now and in the future as we grow the economy.
"Together, both Project Gigabit and the Department’s Project Stratum will seek to ensure that premises across Northern Ireland, particularly those in rural areas, have access to the best available broadband services, future-proofing connectivity needs for generations to come."
