Faster internet coming to Canary Islands
Installation of the cable to improve computer connections in the Canary Islands is running on schedule.
The great demand on internet across the Canaries has caused a slowing down of services. Many new residents to the islands demand fast connections.
When asked a Mr Guy Peters who recently bought a property for sale in Playa Blanca said that ‘he does a lot of his work from his new villa in Faro Park and a fast internet connection is essential for him. He welcomes the new faster speeds coming soon’
According to the latest report by Carlos Alonso the Tenerifes councillor for the economy, the submarine cable link from Cadiz to Tenerife, La Palma and Gran Canaria should be completed in the first half of 2011. The new connection will mean a vast improvement in the number and quality of broad band connections on the islands and give support to new services and applications. The new connection is designed to make the Islands, the communications axis between Africa Europe and America.
