Digicel launches LTE in British Virgin Islands

Mobile operator Digicel has launched its LTE network in the British Virgin Islands, with initial coverage for parts of Tortola and Virgin Gorda and offering speeds up to 10 times faster than 4G on average, according to the company.

The network uses the spectrum in the 700MHz band that was awarded to Digicel in August last year. Digicel rival Flow (C&W Communications), which was also awarded spectrum in said band, launched its LTE network in November.

"We're focused on always delivering the most advanced technologies to our customers, and the activation of the LTE network in BVI is another significant step in this direction," Digicel BVI general manager Kevin Gordon was quoted as saying by BVI News.

The operator's stores in Tortola and Virgin Gorda are now offering LTE home solutions starting at US$79 per month, as well as an array of 4G-supporting handsets. Prepaid and postpaid subscribers will be able to enjoy they service at no extra charge.
