Connect Broadband market leader in wire-line and broadband segment in Punjab today announced investment of Rs 257 crores to bring high broadband speed of 50 mbps, by deploying VDSL technology on copper network which is the latest deployment in international market.
With internet speed as focus area, the new campaign is about providing superfast broadband with the speed of up to 50mbps to its customers through VDSL technology which is a unique combination of fibre and Vectorization that delivers superfast speed and provides faster downloads, less buffering, and an ultra-reliable Wi-Fi connection for all the devices at home. This technology would be made available to the customers at no extra cost.
VDSL (Very high bit digital subscriber line) is a method of increasing the bandwidth on the last mile so that it can deliver a higher speed than it would otherwise achieve. It uses noise cancelling technology to reduce interference from adjacent lines or other services or equipment. This will enable the Connect Broadband customers to access consistent and superfast data speeds and enable HD video streaming, heavy file downloads and uploads over Wi-Fi with the superfast speed of up to 50mbps.Driven by a futuristic approach, Connect Broadband has initiated the testing of G Fast technology and soon would be converting the entire network to VDSL.
Speaking on the occasion Mr. Arvind Bali, CEO Connect Broadband said, “The need of speed is increasing on daily basis and only fixed line technology can fulfill that need.The penetration and the number of Smartphone users have increased to a great extent over the past few years and we have multiple users connected to a home Wi-Fi connection. With each user accessing internet from his device the requirement for speed goes up substantially so there is need for higher bandwidth to provide that seamless experience. Innovative fixed-line technology choices such as VDSL vectoring will deliver even faster speeds over fixed lines, which also deliver consistent performance that does not slow down at busy times and do not require data caps to constrain use.”
