Updated 4.55pm Telecoms company Epic has started the roll-out of a new fibre network which it says will see users benefit from download speeds of up to 2000Mbps. Company officials said at a press conference that the service, which will initially be available to addresses in Mosta, will offer internet download speeds that have never been available in Malta up to now. Fibre internet connections use optic fibre cabling to transfer data at speeds higher than traditional copper connections. Service is restricted to neighbourhoods where such cabling is available. The company's predecessor, Vodafone, had first announced its plans to provide fibre services in 2018, using the cabling network laid by rival telecoms firm GO.
