350 miles of fiber nationwide now country’s largest fiber network, company claims
NASSAU, BAHAMAS BTC’s fiber to the home (FTTH) customers are benefitting from a major speed increase to their existing fiber services at no additional cost with faster-than-ever broadband speeds, the company said in a statement yesterday.
Effective May 17, all fiber (broadband stand-alone) customers have been upgraded to a minimum of 100Mbps. This comes following an expansion of BTC’s fiber network spanning across many islands of The Bahamas. BTC now boasts not only the largest fiber network, but also the fastest speeds available to Bahamians whose neighborhoods have been upgraded to its FTTH network. As the Bahamas’ telecommunications carrier of choice, the company continues to expand its fiber network footprint to more than 41,000 residents across The Bahamas, adding hundreds of miles of fiber expansion throughout the archipelago in recent months.
