Go is the first communications provider in Malta to deploy highspeed mobile internet and data of up to 7.2Mbps. This is based on Go's 3.5G/HSDPA nationwide infrastructure which is going to allow mobile users to benefit from double speeds compared to the current maximum 3.6Mbps speeds.

The technological boost allowing for mobile data speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps forms part of Go's ongoing drive to improve the mobile data experience for its customers and further strengthens its position as Malta's leading provider of highspeed wireless internet.

In addition and in line with its ongoing drive to satisfy consumer demand for high-speed connectivity, Go is also doubling the speed of all its 2Mbps ASDL connections to 4Mbps at no added cost to the customer. This upgraded package, allowing for hugely enhanced home internet access, comes with a range of benefits with speeds of up to 4Mbps, greater download limits, unlimited free download usage between 0.01 a.m. and 5.59 a.m., 100MB mailbox space, four e-mail boxes and e-mail virus and scan protection.

Go is currently also offering subscribers a 50 per cent rebate on the normal price of its ADSL internet packages - 4Mbps, 8Mbps, 12Mbps and 20Mbps - for a period of three months.

Norbert Prihoda, Go's chief operations officer, said: "We firmly believe in enriching our customers' broadband internet experience on the move and thus are bringing another important innovation to the Maltese market. Our enhanced wireless service with a speed of up to 7.2Mbps positions us as leaders in the local market - more than a cut above other local providers."

He added: "By doubling our internet speed limit for free, Go continues to show its commitment to customers by making higher-speed internet accessible to all its home customers while it continues to meet and satisfy the ever-growing demand in the local market for bandwidth-hungry applications that showcase contemporary living trends in today's society."
