BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, 10 March, 2022: In its pursuit to ensure uninterrupted access to education, The Cable late last year, as part of a special promotion and partnership with the Ministry of Education, upgraded the Internet bandwidth in all schools to its Xtreme package. The package, its highest for residential customers, packs speeds of up to 160 Megs Down and up to 35 Megs Up. In a similar gesture to teachers who are its customers, the company offered the Internet upgrade at no extra cost.
On the heels of the promotion which has now expired, The Cable, has created an Internet Teacher Pak to enable all teachers in St. Kitts to have affordable access to superfast Internet speeds. The Internet Teacher Pak offers speeds of up to 100 Megs Down and up to 25 Megs Up for $139.00, VAT exclusive. It is available not only to the teachers who previously availed themselves of the promotional offer in September to December, 2021, but to all other teachers who are currently customers of The Cable, and to those who are not yet customers but would like to subscribe to the package.
Chief Commercial Officer at The Cable, Bibiana Hamilton Henry said that The Cable prides itself as an partner in education. “Teachers who have not yet signed up with The Cable are encouraged to take advantage of the new affordable 100 Meg-Internet package,” she urged.
Minister of Education, Hon Jonel Powell said he welcomes these initiatives by The Cable to assist the nation’s Teachers and the education sector in general. “We thank The Cable for its continued outreach and partnership with the Ministry of Education. This public demonstration by the company validates its commitment to ensure that no one is left behind in this new wave of virtual education. We encourage all teachers to take up this special offer which will assist them greatly in the delivery of education within and outside the classroom and ultimately redound to the benefit of the nation’s students.”
“The creation of the Teacher Internet Pak is a signaled commitment to work with the Ministry of Education and by extension the Government of St. Kitts-Nevis, to ensure the readiness of our education system to effectively accommodate the current digital age,” affirmed the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Patricia Walters.
The Cable’s Internet Teacher Pak became available from March 1st, 2022.
