 A new residential broadband service capable of delivering speeds of up to 100 megabits per second has launched in Jamaica...

A new residential broadband service capable of delivering speeds of up to 100 megabits per second has launched in Jamaica. The new broadband service, offered by Cable & Wireless Communications’ (CWC) Caribbean business LIME, is delivered using the Caribbean’s first Fibre To The Home (FTTH) residential broadband network.

The FTTH broadband service is initially available to people living in two areas: one around Montego Bay and the other in St. Catherine, one of Jamaica’s most populous parishes. The network will gradually be extended to other parts of the country, meeting local demand for higher bandwidth services such as TV over broadband.

LIME’s Chief Executive Officer, David Shaw, commented: “This new broadband network will launch a leap forward in speed and services for Jamaica. It is the latest in a series of innovations, including the launch of mobile TV last year.”
