The company’s arrival in Sierra Leone marks the start of an ambitious project to bring fast, reliable internet to the entire country. Metro Cable Africa has already laid down over +750km of metro fiber network to create a ring covering the entire Freetown including the Peninsular, with vectorized coverage of major communities in the City.capital, Freetown, and is planning to expand its network throughout the country.
