Ecuador s Corporacion Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CNT), the national telco recently formed by the merger of state-owned regional fixed-line operators Andinatel and Pacifictel, has begun a campaign to increase fixed broadband penetration via network expansion and cheaper packages. CNT s director Cesar Regalado announced that Fast Boy, the broadband service launched by Andinatel, which previously served northern and eastern provinces, has been launched in Guayaquil, part of the former southern and western coverage footprint of Pacifictel. In November, a reduction of 38.6 percent was made to the cost of DSL connections in areas served by Andinatel, and now customers in Guayaquil will also benefit from more competitive rates, including US$ 18 a month for a 128kbps/64kbps (up/download), US$24.90 for 256kbps/64kbps, US$39.90 for 512kbps/ 128kbps, US$65 for 1 Mbps/256kbps, and US$ 107 for 2Mbps/512kbps.
