Surfing the Internet on the Island should be a little easier for Bermuda Telephone Company (BTC) customers.

The company has announced that it has completed updates to its system to allow DSL speeds of up to 15 percent higher.

BTC President Francis Mussenden said: "This upgrade represents a significant investment in our infrastructure that will allow customers to see an immediate improvement in their service."

He said the upgrade, which was completed on May 17, was one of a series of steps to improve the broadband service.
