50,000 households will be connected to the optical fiber network this year. The optical fiber can carry an impressive amount of data compared with traditional copper wire.

MT already has a broadband network quality copper.

Many households in Mauritius are connected. This is also from the copper network that provides MT since 2006 MyT service including broadband Internet, as well as TV channels and video. The use of the high-speed demand continues to increase.

The demand for bandwidth was 7 Gibabits/second (Gbps) in 2011 has almost tripled in 2013 to reach 20 Gbps in 2013. It is expected that demand will continue to increase. The deployment of optical fiber has already started on a pilot basis Curepipe and Quatre Bornes. In 2012, 550 clients were connected to the fiber optic network. The network will be expanded this year to areas of Forest-Side, Port-Louis, Plaine Verte, Pailles and Triolet.

At the Ministry of Information Technologies and Communication, it was noted that in addition to MT, other mobile operators will resort to the use of optical fiber to connect homes.

The connection to the optical fiber requires a massive investment in international connectivity for the client to take advantage of its Internet connectivity 10 megabits per second (Mbps) or 30Mbps. Through the connection with the submarine cable companies as well as individual clients can remain permanently connected with social networking and downloading movies, videos and music.
