Eighty per cent of Melita’s internet customers are subscribed to packages which deliver internet speeds of 15 Megabits per second or more.

Melita only sells internet access with speeds of 15 megabits per second or more.

A healthy number of customers are also opting for higher broadband speeds thanks to fibrepower packages of 25 Megabits and increasing up to 100 Megabits per second.

“According to www.netindex.com by OOKLA, the average download speed in Europe is just over 13 Megabits per second, so this is a fantastic achievement for Melita and a great benefit for its customers.

The vast majority of Melita’s customers today have a broadband internet connection which is faster than Europe’s average,” Melita internet product manager Mireille Muscat said.

“Apart from delivering high broadband speeds, it is critical to ensure quality of service as well as affordability. Our entry level product now costs just €1.1 per megabit when compared to a €3.5 per megabit for the four megabit product offered by our competitors.”

According to data published by www.netindex.com, Melita delivers the promised speed in more than 96 per cent of instances, a significantly higher rate than the 85 per cent score for EU average.
