PHILIPSBURG:--- Flow Sint Maarten has unveiled a significant upgrade in broadband connectivity by introducing internet speeds up to ten times faster than before. This milestone marks a major leap forward in the island’s digital transformation, setting a new standard for connectivity and innovation.
“Today, we mark a defining moment in Sint Maarten’s digital journey,” said Susanna O’Sullivan, Vice President and General Manager, North Caribbean.
“With this upgrade, Sint Maarten joins the ranks of the world’s most connected societies. This investment reflects our unwavering belief in the island’s potential to attract innovation, empower entrepreneurs, and strengthen the foundation for sustained digital growth. We are not just increasing speeds; we are expanding opportunities for everyone.”
Flow’s latest technology rollout now extends from Cay Hill through LB Scott Road, covering the full Cul de Sac basin, including South Reward, Saunders, St. Johns, and Ebenezer, as well as Middle Region, Dutch Quarter, Belvedere, and Sucker Garden. Customers across other areas will also benefit from a new minimum broadband speed of 50 Mbps. All existing customers will be automatically upgraded at no additional cost, as Flow continues to bridge the digital divide and expand access across Sint Maarten.
“We are leaving old limits behind. We are delivering speeds up to ten times faster. We are talking about gigabit potential, the kind of connectivity that places Sint Maarten alongside the world’s most connected countries and cities,” said Yolande Headley, General Manager, Flow St. Maarten.
“In today’s world, connectivity is not a luxury. It is the foundation on which education, commerce, emergency response, and everyday human connection rest. For us, providing internet service is a responsibility; one that demands we listen, respond, and invest in our communities.”
Speaking on Monday, Headley said the increased speeds will transform connectivity on the island.
“Students will join virtual classrooms and conduct research without delay. Entrepreneurs can run cloud-native businesses and sell globally from Philipsburg. Families can stream, video call, and play online simultaneously without compromise. This is not about raw numbers; it is about unlocking economic opportunity, strengthening resilience, and giving every resident the tools to thrive,” she said.
Headley also commended Flow’s teams for their dedication to delivering the transformative upgraded network and expressed gratitude to key stakeholders, including the Bureau of Telecommunication and Post, for their continued partnership and collaboration.
