Telecom Namibia has upgraded its Speedlink broadband products as of April 1st 2019.

The free service was launched as a promotion, with a view to making it permanent. The company is introducing a minimum download speed of 2 megabits per second (mb/s) as the entry-level package nationwide to improve the broadband internet experience and doing away with the 1mb/s package.

The firm said in a statement that it upgraded the Speedlink broadband packages for both residential and business customers as follows: 1mb/s was upgraded to 2mb/s, 2mb/s doubled to 4mb/s, 4mb/s went up to 6mb/s, 6mb/s to 8mb/s and 8mb/s went up to 10mb/s.

“Recognising that internet connectivity is essential in the daily communication of all Namibians, Telecom Namibia makes every effort to continually improve its offering to enhance faster connectivity to every Namibian,” said Calvin Muniswaswa, Telecom Namibia’s acting chief executive officer.

“Customers using a 10mb/s Speedlink broadband package last week received a price reduction since they are already on the threshold of the package ranges.”

The 1024kb/s entry-level package has been phased out by the provider.
