Cable & Wireless "Jumps and Clicks" across the Caribbean

Following the announcement of the new hours in their Internet packages and the introduction of the new Net Pro package, Cable & Wireless is giving customers even more to celebrate this coming weekend.

On Saturday May 13th, Cable & Wireless will be hosting the biggest live web event of its kind ever held in the region. From the main-stage event, which takes place in Barbados, eight Caribbean Islands will link together to see live performances from Square One, interviews with Sherwin Campbell and Franklyn Rose from the West Indies cricket team, and travel over the superhighway to tune in to live action from the St. Lucia Jazz Festival.

Appropriately named "Jump and Click" this fun-filled extravaganza will give customers a chance to learn more about the Internet, from how to get started to how to explore the coolest websites and shop on-line from the comfort of your own home. Among the demonstrations will be information on education, e-commerce and lifestyles, as well as resource persons available to answer questions.

In addition, everyone who shows up at Saturday's event, which is being held at the Westin Hotel from Noon until 6pm, will have an opportunity to win free Internet service for one year! New customers who sign for any one of the Internet packages will receive 2 weeks free Internet service.

Along with Cayman, the Islands that will be 'Jumping and Clicking' with Cable & Wireless include Antigua, Anguilla, Barbados, the British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

General Manager Tim Adam said, "We are extremely pleased to be a part of this truly Caribbean event, which gives us an opportunity to demonstrate the power and versatility of the Internet. We hope all of our customers will come out and join us, and we look forward to a fun-filled exciting day of activities.
