Digicel Guyana launches LTE service in Lethem

Digicel Guyana has recently launched its LTE service in Lethem, Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo), bringing to those residents faster speeds and access to information.
With this launch, the company is saying it is the network of choice in the Rupununi, having the widest and fastest service.
This LTE service upgrade also means more opportunities for economic empowerment for Guyanese, due to the direct correlation between access to broadband internet and economic growth.
To date, Digicel has invested Gy$5 billion in rolling out its LTE services across Guyana.
“Digicel’s focus on delivering the best customer experience, by ensuring its networks are superior and ubiquitous, has seen an emphasis on speed, quality and coverage. This was independently recognised by Ookla, with the telecom’s provider winning Ookla’s Best Mobile Network, Best Mobile Coverage, and the Best Speeds awards,” the company has stated in a release.
Digicel Guyana’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Gregory Dean, related, “When we launched in Guyana 15 years ago, we transformed the communications landscape with a promise to connect everyone everywhere to world class mobile communications. We are happy to be delivering on this promise to our customers in Lethem.
“This is a signal of our commitment to providing superfast connectivity for everyone everywhere via our LTE networks. We’re proud to be connecting Guyanese to economic opportunities, with our overall population coverage (being) the best available in Guyana at 98.14%, along with an industry-leading LTE population coverage of over 90%.”
