Vodafone Malta has launched the highest mobile Internet speeds across Malta and Gozo. This launch confirms Vodafone has the fastest commercially available speeds on 3G technology on the island.

With new 21.6Mbps HSPA capability already live across all of Vodafone’s coverage area, the company is also in the process of rolling out the very latest 42Mbps capability across key areas and high traffic sites on the Vodafone network.

This next evolution of 3G data capabilities across Vodafone’s broadband network enables customers with the latest devices to enjoy a significant improvement in speeds on the Vodafone network with the new speeds promising a truly spectacular data experience on cutting edge data devices from Internet keys to tablets.

With Vodafone’s new 21.6Mbps upgrade, it is expected that average download speeds will be around 1.5 times faster than the current experience using 14.4Mbps. In the very best conditions, this capability can already easily support the streaming of full high definition movie content.

Vodafone’s targeted upgrades of 42Mbps take this experience even further, and provide the ultimate mobile data experience to those customers with the very latest devices. This technology can deliver average download speeds approximately three times faster than that experienced today, and a performance in ideal conditions to rival the best-fixed technologies.

Vodafone Malta’s upgrade is part of an investment programme of €55 million over five years, reflecting confidence in the future. A significant portion of this investment, €11 million, is currently being invested in Vodafone’s Customer Relationship Management systems. Through this significant level of investments, Vodafone is proud to confirm its position as one of the main and most consistent investors in the telecoms industry.
