Faster broadband is on the way in Guernsey.

Cable and Wireless is upgrading customers to two megabits, free of charge. Some commercial operators will be upgraded to eight megabit speed. Six hundred households will be upgraded next week, ahead of a general introduction of faster broadband throughout the island.

Russell Sharman, Cable & Wireless’ Chief Technical Officer, said: "Testing of the broadband upgrade has progressed positively in recent weeks. We are now ready to commence a controlled initial roll-out. If the ISPs report no problems then we will commence upgrading other customers in batches over the coming weeks. Our aim throughout this process is to be confident before we upgrade customers that they will receive a better browsing experience with no disruption to their existing broadband service."
