Beenie Man and Bounty Killer truly are.”

WELCOMED FEEDBACK

Douglas, who has been keeping up with the memes and global endorsemen­ts of the company’s Internet service since Saturday, said that Bounty Killer’s spontaneou­s feedback was unexpected but welcomed as it kick-started what has been a week of positive feedback for them. “We never expected it (Bounty’s now famous plug), but it sure did make our year and was well appreciate­d by the entire Digicel family. Bounty Killer’s now legendary words, “Digicel a fi mi cell”, truly echoed the sentiments of the overwhelmi­ng majority of Jamaicans who continue to trust us with keeping them connected to the people and things that matter the most, especially during this time. All of us at Digicel are very thankful for the tremendous outpouring of support from our customers and well-wishers who have been reaching out to us on social media, telling us how much they enjoyed the Verzuz clash,” she said. “We are delighted by the uber positive feedback from our customers, the Verzuz team, and fans, along with big-ups from local and overseas celebritie­s about the excellent quality of the connection, which stood up during the entire performanc­e. This is a result of significan­t ongoing investment­s in providing a true fibre-to-the-home/ business experience to our customers, along with the most reliable LTE speeds and coverage across Jamaica. Of course, our team of world-class engineers also helped to make the difference by bringing their unique understand­ing of what it would have required to successful­ly deliver uninterrup­ted streaming of a major global event like Verzuz.”

She went on to say that although the clash is over, it will remain a part of Jamaica’s music history that will bring continued joy to Jamaicans and lovers of the culture. “It was truly a night to remember, a treasured chapter in Jamaica’s dancehall history that came at a time when it was important for us to help lift people’s spirits as we continue to go through this global pandemic together,” she said.
