June 22, 2007: ANGUILLA--Cable & Wireless (C&W) says it is increasing the value that customers receive through its high speed Internet service at no additional cost.

Cable and Wireless, Anguilla's longest serving telecommunications company announced earlier this week that they have undertaken an initiative to significantly increase the speed for all of their Broadband (ADSL) customers. They are unveiling six new plans, with four of the plans being made available to residential Broadband customers.

According to published reports, the "speed of the lowest plan has been doubled and the speeds of the additional three plans have been increased by up to 50 per cent. Customers will also have the option of choosing 'no contract' plans". Complimenting the high speeds the business plans will also now include a static IP address which will allow for the hosting of web and e-mail servers.

The upgrades are being done without any increase in cost to existing customers and are expected to yield efficiency benefits for those who use high demand net services or  multiple services simultaneously such as video-on-demand, NetSpeak and large file downloads. According to the company the process began last week and about 75 per cent of C&W customers have already been upgraded.
