In November 2014 FLOW Antigua and Barbuda launched a B4 (1700 MHz) LTE network to provide 4G services to the island. There are conflicting reports that FLOW (LIME) launched a B17 (700 MHz) LTE network and not a B4 (1700 MHz) network.
C&W performed LTE Advanced Pro "Pre-5G" testing in Antigua in July 2017, demonstrating peak data rates of up to 800 Mbps. The company expects to commence rollout of LTE-A in the coming months.
