Dig­i­cel (T&T) Ltd is ex­pand­ing its 100 per cent fi­bre net­work across South Trinidad, ex­tend­ing cov­er­age to com­mu­ni­ties in­clud­ing Siparia, Oropouche and Point Fortin.

Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer Pieter Verkade said the roll­out will bring high-speed, re­li­able con­nec­tiv­i­ty to thou­sands of homes and busi­ness­es, as de­mand grows for faster and more con­sis­tent in­ter­net.

“Res­i­dents in these com­mu­ni­ties are see­ing grow­ing de­mand for faster, more con­sis­tent in­ter­net per­for­mance, as dig­i­tal ser­vices con­tin­ue to play a big­ger role in work, en­ter­tain­ment and every­day life, with our full fi­bre net­work and large in­ter­na­tion­al ca­pac­i­ty we can make that work.”

He said the ex­pan­sion forms part of the com­pa­ny’s wider in­vest­ment in in­fra­struc­ture, in­clud­ing a pre­vi­ous­ly an­nounced com­mit­ment of about TT$20 mil­lion to strength­en its net­work.

Dig­i­cel al­so host­ed cus­tomer en­gage­ment events in Siparia to show­case the new ser­vices and con­nect with res­i­dents.
