An Extension of Time for More Fibre Optic Connections
Homes and businesses that have not been connected to the the new fibre optic network has additional time to do so.
Premier, the Honourable Joseph Farrell says his government has extended the connectivity time to May 31st so that homes and businesses could benefit.
The Government of Montserrat announced the launch of a new voucher programme on October 1st last year to facilitate the rapid roll-out of fibre optic broadband to premises across the island.
This scheme, known as Project Lightspeed, was announced exactly one year after the commissioning of Montserrat’s new fibre optic capability in October 2020 – the culmination of a £5m capital project delivered in partnership with Southern Caribbean Fibre, and funded through the Capital Investment Programme for Resilient Economic Growth (CIPREG).
