GTT yesterday said that 150,000 homes and businesses now have access to its high-speed fibre service, after recently making the service available to more than 1,100 homes and 170 businesses in Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo, Region Three.
A release yesterday from the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GTT) said that the company is the first to deliver Fibre technology to Guyanese and technicians have since worked to roll out more than 3000 miles (about 4828.03 km) of fibre thus far.
Through its fibre deployment, two in every three homes now have access to fibre service as the company further commits to ensuring over 75% of homes will have fibre connectivity by the end of 2024.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GTT Damian Black-burn, said that GTT recognizes the vital role connectivity plays in facilitating business growth and enhancing quality of life.
“This achievement reflects our commitment to transforming lives through advanced telecommunication solutions, and we are excited to continue driving positive change in Guyana. By rolling out fibre to 2 in every 3 homes, we are unlocking endless possibilities for education, entrepreneurship, healthcare, and socio-economic development”, he was quoted as saying.
Blackburn added that GTT’s dedication to delivering reliable connectivity ensures that customers can fully embrace the digital world.
To celebrate the 150,000 accomplishment the company will be throwing a free public concert titled “150K Fete”, at the Marriott Hotel on Friday June 23. Performing live will be Farmer Nappy and Teddyson John, among several local stars including Calvin Burnett and Steven Ramphal. Patrons will have the opportunity to win 150 prizes plus cash.
