One Communications said today that all of its standard internet customers have been automatically upgraded to the company’s new high-speed FibreWire internet plans. The free upgrade, involving no service call to the home for the majority of customers, has boosted internet speeds to as much as 200 Mbps.

“The first phase of the new FibreWire network infrastructure roll-out has been completed, with more than 10,000 customers now upgraded. By bolstering the bandwidth to core systems, including the main control centre and subsea cable, One is now able to provide significantly increased speeds to its customers,” Frank Amaral, One Communications CEO, said.

One will be deploying a new state-of-the-art video platform — FibreWire TV. This new service will offer HD as the standard, with the ability to view programming on personal devices such as tablets and smartphones.

Cloud DVR, 4K Ultra HD and a modern user interface are highly anticipated features customers can look forward to.

The upgrades are on a sliding scale. For example, customers who had received a 25 Mbps service will now get 200 Mbps, while those who got 8 Mbps will now get 20 Mbps.

“Feedback from upgraded customers has been incredibly positive as we bring high-speed internet technology across Bermuda, while increasing value for money,” said Mr Amaral.

“As we advance with the second phase of our network build, technicians will continue to be in the field furthering the upgrades to ensure greater reliability and future speed enhancements. We thank our customers for their patience during the temporary outages this work requires while we move through the eastern part of the island in particular.”
