About Speednet

Speednet Communication was granted a license to offer full telecom services to Belize in August 2003. This was the beginning of a new era that would bring the end of monopoly and the beginning of fair competition to Belizeans. Speednet employees worked arduously to build a new network that would offer wider coverage, innovative products and affordable services. Since then Speednet has grown from a small company providing services to over 5000 customers to a well respected provider with over 90,000 customers. Today, the services and products provided by Speednet have significantly improved the lifestyle of its customers.
Speednet is the parent company of SmartCom Belize which offers mobile voice, SMS and data services. These portfolios offer various products and services that give customers value for money including cheaper International calls, International Roaming, Internet, Value Added Services and wider coverage throughout the country.
