Malta Independent Tuesday, 26 November 2013, 14:26 Last update: about 12 years ago

Melita’s 250Mbps super-fast broadband is now available in most of Sliema after becoming available at Tigne Point (Midi) and Fort Cambridge earlier this year. Melita’s service roll-out is now well underway and more localities in Malta will shortly have access to Malta’s only 250 Megabit per second broadband internet speed. 

Over the past weeks Melita also deployed its new melitaWIFI service in Sliema with an outdoor Wi-Fi zone starting from Black Gold all the way to the Nazzarenu Church area. These initiatives are part of a EUR 60 million investment programme planned by Melita for the next five years.

Melita’s 250 Megabit broadband is packaged within Melita’s FibrePower product range and besides the staggering download speed, the product also offers an upload speed of up to 20 Megabits per second without any limits on download.

As a special introductory offer, Sliema residents can benefit from FibrePower 250 bundled with Melita’s XL FibrePower Entertainment Pack at just EUR 96 per month. That’s the same price of the existing 100 Megabit product. The bundle also includes XL TV package, HD service, Video-OnDemand!, Movies OnDemand! as well as telephony with free calls to all local numbers. Customers also get free access to TV Everywhere on up to two devices such as tablets or smartphones.

“The FibrePower 250, melitaWIFI and TV Everywhere are all services that leverage the investments Melita has made in the past years and further strengthen the company’s position as Malta’s internet service provider of choice. We are seeing an exponential growth in demand for higher speeds and capacity. This is driven by a larger number of people connected in the same household or business, more devices and more consumption of video over the internet”, commented Michael Darmanin, Director of Marketing & Corporate services at Melita.

Customers may also test and experience FibrePower 250 at Melita’s new retail outlet in Bisazza Street, Sliema from Monday to Friday between 9am and 2pm and from 4pm to 7pm or on Saturday’s from 9am to 1pm.

Melita is the only internet provider in Malta to offer broadband speeds of up to 250 Megabits per second in select areas. Melita also offers 100 Megabits per second nationwide and has been regularly confirmed by independent international test sites as Malta’s fastest internet service provider.
