THE Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) launched its 4G network in Abaco over the weekend, marking the fifth island to have its network upgraded.
The official launch ceremony took place during a 4G Fun Day at BTC's Marsh Harbour store. Marlon Johnson, vice-president of brand and communications, said: "Residents and visitors will both be pleasantly surprised at the improvements we've made over the last few months, completing phase one coverage of the northern island's expansive land and surrounding cays with the most advanced telecommunications network available.
"With many of the cell sites in Abaco now completed, customers will certainly notice a dramatic difference in their cellular speeds."
Abaco marks the fifth island network to be upgraded behind New Providence, Grand Bahama, Exuma, Bimini and the Berry Islands.
Ever since BTC launched 4G in Nassau in December - coinciding with the opening of its flagship store in the Mall and Marathon - the company has been on an aggressively fast track to upgrade its infrastructure countrywide, offering its customers the ability to browse the Internet, watch music videos and play interactive mobile games on their smart phones.
The 4G launch party took place the day after the opening of BTC's newly-renovated store in Treasure Cay, the seventh store to be revamped so far.
