SURE will test a 20Mb broadband service for islanders next year.

Currently, households can get a maximum of up to 16Mb but the company is continuing to upgrade its network, which should lead to another rise in broadband capacity within the next 12 months.

Head of strategy Tim Stonebridge said the company was also working to improve services so islanders were able to reach, or get close to, the current top speed of 16Mb.

Sure's last upgrade to its network was in September and led to a doubling of potential broadband speeds from 8Mb to 16Mb for some households.

However, the speed that is achieved depends on factors including the distance a home is situated away from one of the six exchanges.
