In 2009 Lattelecom started offering residential fibre optic services with up to 100 megabits per second high Internet bandwidth. Zolitude was the first residential area in Riga where the Lattelecom fibre optic Internet service was made available (in January 2009) [3], followed later by Kengarags, Purvciems, Plavnieki, Ziepniekkalns and other locations. Jelgava was the first city where fibre optic Internet was made available from areas other than Riga, but late in 2009 the Lattelecom fibre optic service was also made accessible in other cities, such as Daugavpils, Salaspils, etc. Initially, fibre optic network expansion work was carried out in the newly-built dwelling areas in Riga and other largest cities of the country the rational being that return on the investment in the development of the network is possible to attain only if the newly connected building has at least 30 apartments. The service is provided using GPON technology that enables 100 megabits per second bandwidth accessible from any connection point (apartment). In September 2009 an announcement was made that Lattelecom had upgraded its fibre optic bandwidth up to 500 megabits per second [4]. Early in 2010 the company advised that the Lattelecom fibre optic Internet had been made available to 100 000 households - 88 000 located in Riga, 6500 – in Jelgava, 4500 – in Daugavpils and 1000 – in Salaspils[5]. In April 2010 the Lattelecom fibre optic Internet is likely to be used by as many as 19 000 households, but it's available in 150 000 households. Lattelecom also reported, that it invested in optical network building 10 million lats
