As a company we are committed to making certain that the entire country benefits from upgrades and advancements,” said Talbot Collie, Vice President for Family Islands.
Residents in Eastern New Providence are also able to access fiber to the home and FLOW TV services.

As we’ve talked with our customers, they told us that home security was of utmost importance to them. With that in mind, we began working to make that request a reality. We will be able to share more about this significant partnership shortly.”
