Movistar launches 100Mbps FTTH package (Spain)

Spain’s Movistar has announced the commercial launch of fibre-optic broadband services at downlink speeds of up to 100Mbps.
According to reports, the operator had initially suggested that it would launch the higher speeds in the third quarter of 2010. The launch of the higher speed services follows the decision by Movistar a few weeks ago to discontinue its 6Mbps fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) product offering, a move taken to place the 10Mbps option as the standard entry-level fibre service.
Company’s new 100Mbps service, which also offers an increased uplink speed of 10Mbps, will cost customers US$118 per month and will initially only be available to business customers.
