Digicel announced this week it will be increasing its domestic capacity by 200 percent, while International capacity will be increased by 300 percent.

“The only way to predict the future is to create it and this increase in capacity will allow us to bring the TCI the future in Telecommunication products and services and we are excited about it. Stay tuned,” said Digicel CEO E. Jay Saunders.

Saunders said once completed, the upgrade will allow Digicel to offer the latest products and services to customers in the TCI. “This is in line with the company’s commitment to deliver to its customers the Best Network, Best Technology, Best Service and Best Value,” he added.

The expansion work commenced on Monday, February 28 and continues through to March 6.

Digicel says customers will experience intermittent service during the hours of 12 a.m.-7 a.m. during the period of upgrade and apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.
