Digicel+ Price Adjustment
Dear Valued Digicel+ Customer,
Like every company across the globe, we are dealing with the impact of substantial increases in the costs of doing business. Not to mention here in Trinidad and Tobago, internet usage has doubled when compared to pre-pandemic levels, the costs of international television content continues to rise, and over-the-top (OTT) apps are growing in popularity, increasing internet pressures and further driving up our operational costs.
Additionally, given the demands for more internet, faster speeds and greater reliability, we must also improve the network’s resilience and redundancy to help prevent outages and downtime in the event of an outage.
Since our services are only as good as the money we invest in them, we must take action to ensure that what we deliver matches up to what you expect.
Therefore, it is against this background that we must implement new packages from 01 June 2023 and take this opportunity to provide 30 days advance notice, which is in line with our commitment to communicate openly with our customers.
We know these times are challenging and thank you for your understanding. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you on T&T’s award winning fastest and largest fibre network; it is not something we take lightly.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our customer care team via email at support_tt@digicelgroup.com or live chat on our website www.digiceltt.com or the MyDigicelApp. We are here to help and support you.
Sincerely,
The Digicel+ Team
