Epic has announced a significant upgrade to its roaming proposition.

With it, the company’s customers can benefit from 5G not only in Malta, but also when roaming in 25 different countries, both European countries such as Denmark, Finland, Sweden, France and Ireland as well as other countries such as Thailand, the Philippines and Canada, to name a few.

In other positive news for Epic customers, as of 15th March, the company has also been given 5G certification for Apple devices that are 5G compatible, which include latest generation iPhones and iPads.

Android users may also experience Epic 5G when using Xiaomi and OnePlus devices, and Epic is "working closely" with Samsung to extend 5G services on these devices.

As Malta’s demographics change, both in size and geography, the company has embarked on a significant infrastructural upgrade, reflecting its commitment to offer the "best network on the island."

Epic’s network is being overhauled from the ground up to make it "faster, stronger, reachable anywhere and more reliable." The new network aims to provide a better user experience to all customers, regardless of their device.

This effectively means that it can take many more customers in the same area, at the same time, without any loss of quality in efficiency. In practical terms, downloading speeds are described as “superfast”, independently from the traffic on the same network, with Epic claiming the possibility of reaching 1,500 Mbps.

Epic customers are already said to be benefiting from improvements on their tech devices, from mobile phones to tablets as it started rolling out its new network last year.

The roll-out is part of Epic’s ongoing €40 million investment which has also projected the company’s already established services into a new, revolutionary future generation, allowing Malta to have the top-of-the-line 5G.

The new network is already available in parts of the island, namely: Sliema, Gzira and St. Julian’s.

The rest is being rolled out all over the island in the coming months. In November of last year, Epic upgraded all customers on an unlimited plan and the new business plans to 5G speeds.
