Melita has received yet another quality certificate by international broadband monitor www.netindex.com. The results on the site’s “promise index” benchmark the difference between advertised speeds and actual speeds received by customers.

Melita scored 95.38 per cent compared to an EU average of 85.28 per cent.

“With our fibre power products, we want to offer a broadband internet service nationwide that is superfast, reliable but also affordable.

“These latest results confirm we are delivering on our promise,” Melita product manager for internet and telephony Mireille Muscat said.

The success and reliability of Melita’s fibre power internet are more evident when put into context against other larger countries such as Italy, the UK and France, which scored 67 per cent, 72 per cent, and 60 per cent on the promise index.

Unlike traditional broadband packages starting from five Megabits per second download speeds, Fibre Power packages start from 25 Megabits per second all the way to 100 Megabits per second downloads. This is possible thanks to a new cable technology introduced by Melita called DOCSIS 3.0 in collaboration with networking giants Cisco.

Recently-published results by the same independent international website www.netindex.com show that Melita’s average download speed is faster that the average speed of other EU countries. Melita’s download speed is also faster than Malta’s average and almost three times faster than other local operators using either DSL or Wi-Max technology.
