Sure set to lead mobile broadband speeds
4th June 2010
Sure is upgrading its 3G mobile network in
Guernsey to download speeds of up to 7.2 Megabits per second (Mbps)
from its current 3.6Mbps and is on the verge of launching the
island’s fastest network with speeds of 10.2Mbps expected in the
next couple of months and testing for speeds of 14.4Mbps already
underway.
Paul Taylor, Marketing Director for Sure,
said:
“We’ve seen a really strong uptake in
High
Speed Mobile Broadband since launching our 3G network in
Guernsey before Christmas.
High Speed Mobile
Broadband offers islanders super-fast mobile internet access,
which is really useful for those wanting to download large files
quickly on their 3G phone, netbook or laptop. We’ve doubled speeds
without charging more, are the only network to offer unlimited
usage and we’ve ensured that islanders will get a reliable
island-wide service through Sure’s mobile network.”
High Speed Mobile
Broadband (HSMB) makes the internet available to islanders
wherever they can get a mobile signal. It is increasingly popular
with people who want to work remotely, want to use their laptop
anywhere, or who use a lot of data on their handsets and want
faster download speeds. They use it to stay in touch through
Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites as well as
generally browsing the net.
