The site above the Odeon car park has been upgraded and should provide data speeds of more than 400Mbps on compatible mobile devices including the Apple iPhone XS or recent Samsung Galaxy handsets.
“Mobile data usage is increasing all the time and we’re constantly rolling out the latest solutions to stay ahead of demand and give our customers the best possible experience,” said Head of Mobile at Sure, Steve Ozanne. “This latest work will make the network even faster and improve customers’ browsing, streaming and downloading.

“This enhancement is part of our continual mobile network investment programme and marks an important step on the evolution from a 4G network to a ubiquitous 5G network within the Bailiwick, which will give islanders a ‘fibre in the air’ experience.
“We are committed to supporting the island’s increasingly digital future and our investment programme is aligned with the States of Guernsey’s progressive and ambitious Future of Telecoms policy.”
Sure has also carried out works to improve 4G coverage in Alderney and Sark as well as at Jerbourg.
