NASSAU, Bahamas -- Nearly 150 public and private school students in Nassau were given an opportunity to experience the major speed increases that Cable Bahamas introduced to over 45,000 REVON Internet subscribers on April 22.
The company created an exhibition called "The Connected Home" that was presented at centre court at The Mall at Marathon in New Providence between April 20-26. The display provided a realistic demonstration of the impact that broadband Internet speeds of up to 70 megabits can have on a family's day-to-day life.
With two bedrooms, a living room and kitchen area set up, along with actors showing typical Internet usage in those situations, Cable Bahamas showed as many as ten different devices receiving live video streams without any degradation in performance.
"Our goal was to give people a true experience of a real home environment with real life situations of Internet use," said Cable Bahamas Head of Marketing and REVON Product Manager David Burrows. "This is the first time in our country's history that this type of service has been seen in Bahamian households," Burrows stated, "so giving people a chance to feel it for themselves and compare living with Internet before the speed increase and seeing how it performs after the increase was very important."
Students from 10 public schools and nine private schools on New Providence visited the exhibition and were provided with a guided tour and presentation by Mr Burrows. The information provided helped them gain a better understanding of the impact technology can have on their schoolwork and future careers.
