Bau and Limbang were the two towns in Sarawak that made the top 10 list in the #DigiWeWant4G Twitter campaign

In Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (Digi)'s latest chapter of installing 4G LTE tower today, they are now in Bau and Limbang, Sarawak completing their #DigiWeWant4G Twitter campaign quest by the nominations from their customers.

Started all the way back in November last year, customers get to vote through Twitter on which town they want next to have 4G LTE in order to suit their modern digital lifestyles. So far, Digi has faithfully heeded their request and this will be the fourth area continuing from Sabah.

Digi’s Chief Network Officer, Kesavan Sivabalan, said, “Bau and Limbang in Sarawak now join the list of towns in Digi’s rollout of 4G LTE after coming in the top 10 of our #DigiWeWant4G Twitter campaign. To date, we have deployed and switched on our 4G LTE infrastructure to serve customers in Setia Alam in the Klang Valley, the northern peninsular towns of Lunas, Batu Gajah, Jejawi and Arau as well as Papar and Tenom in Sabah. We’re pleased to be unveiling the people’s tower and powering up 4G LTE here in Bau and Limbang. We are looking to complete the tenth and final town, Simpang Renggam in Johor, in the coming weeks.”

“The campaign was a great way for us to listen to our customers and is crucial to us as it helps us understand their needs and roll out our network strategically and efficiently while strengthening our coverage position. In Sarawak, we have increased our 4G LTE coverage to 58.5% of populated areas which covers 19 cities and major towns. In Kuching, our 4G LTE coverage currently stands at 88.14% of the population,” he added.

“The people of Bau and Limbang see the value of good 4G LTE coverage and we look forward to bringing them a consistent high-speed digital lifestyle experience on-the-go where they can enjoy high-quality video and music streaming, faster internet browsing as well as social media sharing and more.”
