Telecom Fiji has announced that it has joined the Netflix Open Connect program, Netflix’s own content delivery network, to provide the highest‑quality streaming experience for Telecom customers.
Under this program, which is a first for Fiji, Netflix will deploy its content servers, known as Open Connect Appliances, locally within Telecom Fiji’s network.
Once fully installed and commissioned, customers in Fiji will get an enhanced viewing experience on Netflix.
Chief Executive Officer of Telecom Fiji Charles Goundar says they are grateful to Netflix for this opportunity and for hosting their content locally within Fiji with Telecom.
Goundar says with Netflix content servers now locally hosted within Fiji, their customers will now have a much better quality of experience, especially in terms of watching High Definition and Ultra HD movies.
He says that with the rollout of their high speed broadband services and in particular Fibre‑to‑the‑Home technology, having premium content such as Netflix locally hosted means customers get full benefit of the high speed of the connection.
