Improved internet services long overdue

Jun 30, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) will make history July 1 (tomorrow) by launching its High Speed DSL service. I must point out though that the “free upgrade” will only be experienced in Georgetown. Improved internet services in Guyana have been long in waiting. Guyanese, for too long, have had to put up with snail-paced dial-up services, frequent dropped connections, and other dial-up related problems.
It is hoped, that with the start of much more improved DSL services, competitive and cheaper prices for better quality of internet services would be available not only to DSL customers but to dial-up re-sellers. It is hoped, too, that very soon, like in the USA and Canada, dial-up would be a thing of the past and that high speed dial-up and high speed Broadband would be the way to go.
I admire the strides being made by GT&T to continue aiming high in the business by satisfying the demands of the internet industry. GT&T understands that web content and the Word Wide Web require faster connections to be accessed.
While the services of GT&T, whether land-line, cell phone, or internet continue to be more perfected as years go by, sadly the same cannot be said for other utility providers, the electricity one in particular.
But one question for GT&T. Since only Georgetown would experience the new and improved DSL service, when will Berbicians experience the upgrade? Or do we have to imagine what E-magine would feel like?
