About JT

From its origins in 1888, JT is owned, and headquartered in Jersey, Channel Islands, where they are the largest local operator. With strong presence across the Channel Islands, the Islands have a growing digital economy and a thriving business and financial services sector, that is completely reliant on robust connectivity provided by JT.

The JT Group is much more than the incumbent domestic operator; they have formed long-standing partnerships with leading communications businesses to deliver the products and services expected from a full-service, world-class communications provider.

Defined by its innovation and responsibility for doing good for its customers, in 2018 JT became the world’s first telco to provide fibre-to-the-home and businesses of 100% of all broadband users - topping the Broadband speed chart.

In 2023, JT embarked on a major network transformation in the Channel Islands, incorporating Ericsson’s advanced energy-efficient technologies. This initiative is a critical step towards launching 5G and propels JT further into technological innovation, reinforcing their mission to enhance global connectivity and customer experiences.

In recent years JT has pursued a highly successful strategy of international diversification and has grown significantly, enabling it to reinvest global revenues back into its domestic markets with a significant proportion of revenues now coming from international operations.

The recent acquisition of Spectrum Message Services, an Australian company specialising in mobile and transactional system integration, has expanded JT’s Mobile Intelligence services. Spectrum’s MoneyGuard provides secure transaction alerts to a global customer base of over 135 million, underlining JT’s ongoing commitment to innovation and security in the digital age.
