Investment
Since 2002, Cable & Wireless has invested over £40 million in infrastructure, services and products in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. As one of the telecom providers operating in Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man, Sure’s mobile offering has become increasingly competitive. The introduction of mobile number portability in the Channel Islands in December 2008 and in the Isle of Man in 2009 has led to Sure re-launching all of its price plans to compete with the other operators serving the individual islands.
Sure has international roaming agreements with 200 countries across the world. It allows customers to roam across the Channel Islands and Isle of Man without incurring roaming charges.
In 2006 Sure completed the £6.5 million Project HUGO which saw two new fibre optic cables being brought ashore in Guernsey to provide the Channel Island’s future, state of the art telecommunication links. Cable & Wireless’ then chief executive Geoff Houston said Project HUGO marked a new era for telecommunications in the Bailiwick and would put the Channel Islands on a par with some of the world’s major cities.
HUGO directly connects to the Cable & Wireless global infrastructure which is one of the fastest, most reliable and extensive internet protocol networks in the world.
