Melita launches nationwide 1Gbps broadband

Maltese cable operator Melita has launched a 1Gbps internet service that is available across its entire footprint.

The move, which has enabled Melita to claim that Malta is the first country in Europe where 1Gbps broadband is available nationwide, follows upgrades to the operator’s HFC infrastructure that have also reduced latency on the network, according to the company.

Melita is offering the service as part of its GigaPower product line whilst also delivering dedicated fibre services to offices and business centres.

Harald Roesch, CEO at Melita Limited, said, “This is an historic milestone for Melita and for Malta. After being the first to roll out a 5G-ready mobile network last December, we have now achieved another first, delivering Gigabit internet nationwide. Our ongoing investments in infrastructure continue to ensure Malta retains its position as one of the best-connected countries in the world, while also future proofing our network for the coming Internet of Things era.”
