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.

The company’s fiber optic network is capable of providing speeds of up to 55mbps, which is much faster than the average broadband connection in Sierra Leone.
