Information About

Broadband Internet Access In Malta




Cable internet is offered by only one ISP, OnVOL, with speeds available at 2 Mbit/s and 4 Mbit/s download, and 256 kbit/s and 512 kbit/s upload. OnVOL is a subsidiary of the cable and digital television provider, Melita Cable. The 4 Mbit/s speed offered by OnVOL via cable is the fastest current connection available for the residential user in Malta. OnVOL also offer the standard ADSL connection as mentioned above, however this is not advertised and apparently only available for businesses.

Broadband connectivity has become very widespread on the island, with many households opting for a broadband connection. Prices vary slightly between ISPs, however, 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s ADSL connections, and 2 Mbit/s and 4 Mbit/s cable connections are all very reasonably priced, and therefore affordable to the majority of the population. This is largely due to competition between ISPs, and also special connection plans, targeted towards the household user.
