The company has introduced new rates for the peak, off-peak and super off-peak hours.

The new rate for off-peak is 50 cents for 6 minutes from 7.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m. Monday to Sunday. During the super off-peak hours, from 11.00 p.m. to 7.00 a.m. Monday to Sunday, subscribers can surf the net for only 30 cents per 6 minutes.

Margaret Zarine, the manager of IP, PSTN Products & Services at Cable & Wireless,  said the company "is excited to offer the most competitive Internet dial up rates in the country. Our residential segment will in particular reap the benefits of our new off-peak and super off-peak rates."

She said these reductions go to show "the company's commitment to the Seychellois people, and comes well in time for the festive season."

The new rates are inclusive of GST and exclude all other rates levied by Internet Service Providers.
