Flow Jamaica has upgraded its network in several St Catherine and St James communities in a bid to provide improved connectivity for its customers.

The

telecommunications and entertainment company said the recent upgrades will see

better service provided for customers in Old Harbour, St Catherine and the St James communities of

Tryall, Sandy Bay, Pitfour Pen, Anchovy, Reading, Sign, Bogue, Unity Hall,

Catherine Hall and John’s Hall.

Flow’s Director of Maintenance, Shawn Holder, said “New

hardware was installed to provide additional capacity and facilitate faster broadband

speeds for approximately 22,000 customers, thereby improving their browsing

experience.”

Janet Ferguson, a Catherine Hall customer, added that

the improved service will assist given she spend much of the day in online

meetings. “I used to experience occasional fluctuations but now my internet

service is doing much better,” Ferguson said.

A further 2,000 customers in Old Harbour communities

of New Harbour Villages 1-3, Rhone Park and the town center have also benefited

from better service with Flow’s upgrades to its hybrid fibre-coaxial.

Holder said

the company continues to work on improving its capacity to facilitate the

increased demands for its services at this time.
