GTT faces routine complaints over internet speed and capacity
GTT says it is partnering with General Datatech (GDT), a systems integrator and tier 1 Cisco partner to upgrade systems to a level consistent with the best practices of leading global service providers around the world.
“These investments will not only provide for faster and better services today, but will also allow GT&T to easily manage aggressive traffic growth scenarios for many years to come”, the phone company said.
The release said that GTT’s broadband network provides access to the Internet for more than 50,000 customers including residences, business, health care providers, schools and government agencies across the country.
It stated that the system upgrade, along with GTT’s undersea capacity, will facilitate a substantial improvement in broadband and data connectivity services through provision of faster speeds and more secure and reliable connections.
The upgrading project is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2017. During this time some customers may experience intermittent outages.
