CPE admits that the network is slow and needs a lot of investment

The Telecommunications Manager of the Popular Electricity Cooperative (CPE), Iara Arcuri, said that the service network extends to 98 % of Santa Rosa, 50 % of users have hired the minimum internet speed."We have to work on networks and teams," he said and remarked that it is something "imperative" in what they are working on: "migrate on fiber networks and teams that support" higher speed.

Consulted in Radio News about the Report of the Argentine Chamber of the Internet (CABASE), which indicates that the Pampa occupies the fourth place of the most slow internet provinces at the country level with 12 Mbps, Arcuri explained that it is a fact that "there areWhat to see it in context.If they analyze it with penetration, the numbers are the opposites because the pampa has a very high penetration ".This represents the degree of scope that a household service has, which in the province reaches 82 %.

"The Pampa has very good penetration," he said and acknowledged that "the challenge is precisely to provide greater speeds".In that line, he said that 50 % of CPE users have hired the minimum speed, which is six megabytes and "no longer is marketed but users maintain it".

Ancient networks.

The manager commented that CPE currently offers speeds ranging from 30 megabytes up to 100."When I say that this has to be seen in context, I mean that the penetration in La Pampa has to do with affordability.Users can access the service for the price, "he added.

"We have more than half of our users that maintain the minimum speed.Today how is the situation (economic), a user has to be able to face and add to their basic basket the cost of connectivity, which we know is fundamental.The pandemic showed it, the Internet is an essential tool not only in a recreational aspect, but for work and education, "he added."It is the challenge we have to be able to provide greater speeds," he continued.

In that sense, he said that a key point is the networks."We must consider that the networks we have today from the cooperative were planted 20 years ago.Little by little you have to migrate to fiber optics, which allows you to provide greater speeds ".

In order to assemble that infrastructure, it is necessary to make "a great investment", so it should be done "gradually.It is something that over time will be able to migrate ".

equipment.

Another central aspect to improve in terms of Internet speed is equipment."Today users who have six megabytes have a modem cable, and that device does not serve more speeds and you have to replace equipment," he explained.This must also be carried out gradually.

However, this is not easy due to obstacles linked to the world stage."We and all telecommunications providers find an issue that are imports.The teams import them and are on droppers, "he said.This is also linked to the chips, an element that the equipment has and of which there are missing "due to excessive demand".

Arcuri remarked that to improve the speed, a replacement of networks and gradual equipment must.It has to be a gradual issue, in which it is already working "

"We are working".

The CPE manager said that "we have to work on networks and teams", but you cannot neglect access."If 50 % of our users have not migrated to date, it means that connectivity with those six megabytes, which although it is no longer marketed and is insufficient, does not present such a degree of disagreement because otherwise there would be a greater amount of replacements,".

"That has to do with what our users can, there is also the focus of the cooperative: to be able to provide connectivity at affordable prices.These are issues that cannot be disconnected, they go hand in hand.Anyway, it is imperative and we are working on migrating on fiber networks and equipment that supports "greater speeds.
