Melita rolling out faster mobile internet

The first localities that have been upgraded to 42Mbps mobile internet speeds include popular social and entertainment areas such as Valletta, Sliema, and Paceville.

The current phase of Melita’s five-year €70 million investment program is focusing on developing its mobile network to 3G+. Customers will benefit from this upgraded mobile network by means of a faster mobile internet service, with speeds reaching up to 42Mbps on mobile. This upgrade will complement the melitaWIFI service which already delivers speeds of up to 100Mbps.

The first localities that have been upgraded to 42Mbps mobile internet speeds include popular social and entertainment areas such as Valletta, Sliema, and Paceville. Pay monthly customers subscribed to plans such as ‘The One’ are already benefitting from these faster mobile internet speeds. 

“As more services move to the internet, we are continuing with our aggressive investment program to ensure that Melita remains the broadband provider of choice. Maltese consumers and businesses have already voted Melita as the ‘Best Buy Award’ for both fixed and wireless internet. Through our next generation melitaWIFI services, customers already benefit from speeds of up to 100Mbps without needing new expensive phones and without bill shocks thanks to our 10GB data bundles. All this will now be complemented by fast 42Mbps speeds over the 3G+ network”, commented Andrei Torriani, CEO at Melita.

Mobile networking giant Ericsson has been selected for the mobile network upgrade. Speed upgrades are being rolled out regularly in various localities and will continue over the coming months.
