The download time at 1 Mbps is 10 hours 26 minutes. The download
time for a DVD disc at 100 Mbps (download) is 6 minutes. The maximum
download speed for FTTH is 1 Gbps. Google Fiber is currently
advertising that speed for its service [1].
Orange (Mauritius) currently has a 30 Mbps offer. Going from there
to, for example, 50 Mbps is not a steep change. The idea of 100
Mbps (local access) is to cause a steep change [2] in the internet in
Mauritius while not asking Internet Service Providers for too much.

2. The international internet bandwidth per internet user was 24.6
kb/s. The capacity to innovate for companies in Mauritius is
slightly above the (international) mean. Business to consumer
internet use is below the mean.
