GibFibreSpeed Brings 1Gbps FTTH Broadband to 60-70 Percent of Gibraltar

Some 60-70% of Gibraltar, which is a British overseas territory that sits on the southern end of Spain’s Iberian Peninsula in the Mediterranean sea, is now within reach of an ultrafast Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH/B) broadband network thanks to local ISP GibFibreSpeed (A.J. Sheriff Electrical Ltd.).

We first touched on the ISP’s plan to transform Gibraltar’s local connectivity all the way back in 2014 (here) and since then they’ve managed to expand their 1Gbps capable fibre optic network to cover 60-70% of the area, with take-up running at around 15-20% (GibFibreSpeed says that Gibraltar is home to a total of about 17,000 potential clients, both residential and business).
