The initiative establishes new national standards for internet speed, reliability, and digital connectivity, positioning Suriname as a regional leader in telecommunications infrastructure.
All existing fiber-optic customers will be automatically migrated to the enhanced service packages, representing the next phase in the country’s transition to future-proof network capabilities. Current data indicates approximately 70% of internet subscribers have already been successfully transitioned to the Telesur Fiber network, with remaining connections scheduled for completion throughout 2026.

The upgraded network includes sophisticated business solutions offering speeds ranging from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps at competitive rates. These enterprise-grade connections are specifically engineered for sectors requiring exceptional data reliability and capacity, including financial technology, logistics, creative industries, and healthcare.
Consumer packages will support Suriname’s accelerating digitalization, enabling advanced applications in online education, streaming services, gaming ecosystems, smart-home technologies, and innovative business processes. This nationwide fiber transition reinforces Telesur’s position as the driving force behind Suriname’s digital future—delivering reliable, innovative connectivity prepared for the next phase of technological growth.
