“This technology will revolutionize the in-home internet experience” says LIME Managing Director, Garry Sinclair, “Our suite of solutions is based on the new, cutting edge Fiber to the Home technology which provides homeowners with improved service, convenience, comfort and security.”

The fiber technology from LIME allows customers to get speeds up to 100 Mbps facilitating most, if not all, Internet-based applications available today. The technology also prepares the customer for future applications that will require huge amounts of bandwidth.

“Our aim is to make homes ‘smarter with fiber’ by using the speed and superior quality provided by this technology to deliver our landline, internet and entertainment products, demonstrating further that LIME is truly for living, everyday” Sinclair highlighted.

“We are very pleased to offer this first class telecommunications solution to these communities which will change the way technology is used in the home.” he added.

The introductory package called “Ignite” starts at 12Mbps and is priced at only J$2,400 plus GCT. This can facilitate most of the commonly used applications today, such as Facebook®, Twitter® and other social forums, faster media downloads, VOIP calling and enhanced content streaming.

Other packages are available (up to 100 mbps) and are geared toward homes that require a lot of bandwith to complete existing applications at blistering speed. The higher bandwidth packages will also facilitate multiple high definition channels on LIME TV services that will soon be launched in Jamaica.

One response to “LIME Jamaica rolls out 100 Mbps ‘Fibre to the Home’”

  1. As per usual LIME is a bit late to the game FLOW released its 50mb and 100mb packages some time back and unlike LIME they don’t seem to be locked to specific regions of the country from you have a FLOW account you can get the 50mb or 100mb packages. As for the lowest or starter package of 12mb all I can say about that one is its about time since FLOW had also rolled out for sometime now their 12mb and 20mb packages and I noticed they are offering their package $100 exactly below the FLOW $2500 price tage.

    Is that there attempt of offer a better rate for their service?

    Anyway this “The introductory package called “Ignite” starts at 12Mbps and is priced at only J$2,400 plus GCT. This can facilitate most of the commonly used applications today, such as Facebook®, Twitter® and other social forums, faster media downloads, VOIP calling and enhanced content streaming.” was clearly targeted for the ill-informed because apart from VOIP and even for VOIP in a residential home 100mb is overkill for their bandwidth requirements.
