But, as SM mentioned, even with a 100mbps connection, more bandwidth,
latency will always be present due to the physical location of the island.
Since, this delay is always present, external VoIP and IPTV services can
suffer from out-of-sync issues when the data reaches the user terminals.
imo This 100mbps connection will benefit the local population in terms of
distributing digital content/media or IPTV video surveillance.
