Jersey Telecom offers 1Gbps trial service (UK)
Jersey Telcom has announced the launch of a fibre-optic broadband connection offering speeds of up to 1Gbps.
Initially the service will be available on a trial basis only, but the move comes as part of a five-year plan first revealed in November under which Jersey Telecom aims to gradually replace its existing copper cable network with fibre, at a likely cost of around US$61.71 million.
Jersey Telecom ordered to stop selling 18-month mobile contracts
Jersey Telecom, a state-owned telco based in the Channel Islands, has ceased selling mobile services on 18-month contracts under pressure from the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority (JCRA). The company introduced such contracts in April, offering heavy discounts and subsidised handsets to users taking services for a longer period. However, the JCRA ruled that Telecom should not be allowed to offer contracts longer than twelve months in duration lest it impede the introduction of competition. 18-month contracts are offered in neighbouring Guernsey and the rest of the UK.
