Belgian cable operator VOO has announced its gigabit broadband service is now available in Charleroi following deployment of a new DOCSIS 3.1 network. The ‘Gigaboost’ option costs an extra EUR15 (USD17) a month for customers with a 400Mbps MAX package, with the first three months currently provided free of charge. Charleroi is the third city to receive the 1Gbps service after Liege and Wavre earlier this year.
