Liberty VI announced today an unprecedented rate plan offer for the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) market, with 1Gig of internet speed for $50 per month for 24 months. This limited-time promotion includes free installation and is backed by Liberty’s 30-day money-back guarantee.
The offer is the direct result of Liberty’s fiber construction project which is already bringing True Fiber internet connectivity to consumers throughout the USVI. With over 21,000 serviceable locations, many communities in St. Thomas and St. Croix are ready to enjoy the service.
“With hurricane season already upon us and the power outages we are experiencing, it is important for consumers to have a reliable and affordable internet connection,” said Catherine Kling, general manager of Liberty VI. “We want all Virgin Islanders to have a reliable connection with real fiber, which does not go down when power goes out. A true optical fiber network does not rely on electricity. We are beyond excited to be able to offer this world-class service at such an amazing price.”
Kling highlighted that Liberty’s True Fiber offers symmetrical speeds for upload and download and can provide up to 50 times more upload speed than its nearest competitor.
“This is a limited-time offer — available only through June 30— and it’s built around three things no other provider in the USVI is putting on the table together: a symmetrical 1Gig connection with upload speeds up to 50 times faster than the nearest competitor at $50 per month, locked for 24 months. That is less nearly a third of the cost of comparable plans in the territory,” Kling commented. “That means uploading a 4K video in seconds, running a home business without bottlenecks, supporting multiple simultaneous video calls without lag, and obtaining significant savings of the price over the competition. Once the promotional window closes, this rate is gone.”
Covering more of the VI with True Fiber
Providing an update on Liberty’s Connect USVI project, Kling stated that the initiative is well on its way with 30 community and business areas in St. Thomas already connected with True Fiber and 22 in St, Croix, with four about to be added to the list soon. Upcoming new builds include Bakkero in St. Thomas, plus Mon Bijou North & South, Anna’s Hope, Sion Hill (Cane Bay) and Peter’s Rest in St. Croix.
As it acquires the necessary permits, Liberty will continue moving forward with the construction work, which will provide access to high-speed, True Fiber internet connectivity to 100% of homes and businesses in the territory within the next couple of years.
Liberty’s True Fiber connection will enable USVI citizens to work, study and complete daily tasks much more efficiently. The build-out of this ultra-fast fiber network throughout the entire territory will ensure that communities that are underserved or unserved will have the opportunity to have access to a reliable internet connection. From a business perspective, it can transform the territory into a Caribbean technology hub, which could in turn create jobs, improve education, expand tourism opportunities, and connect USVI with other markets around the world.
Liberty VI will be providing updates on its website https://www.libertyvi.com/news on when and where the company will be working on the build-out across the territory.
