A Look Back: A Year of Lightning Speed Advances

One year ago, the Moruca Sub-district in Region 1 became the first area to benefit from faster internet speeds through the rollout of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services under the Government’s WiFiGY Programme.

Since then, 236 of the 253 officially recognised Hinterland, Remote and Riverain villages have been connected, giving over 132,000 people access to high-speed internet at rates exceeding 200 megabits per second.

This initiative reflects the Government’s commitment to digital inclusion, transformation, and equitable access to technology. By connecting remote and underserved communities, the WiFiGY Programme is not only bridging the digital divide but also unlocking opportunities in education, healthcare, business, and public services for thousands of Guyanese.
