Case Study: Cable Bahamas achieves data-driven capacity planning—identifying a 220% international capacity requirement—with Sandvine Business Intelligence

Cable Bahamas Uses Sandvine to Plan Capacity

Cable Bahamas, which serves 99% of the Bahamian population with TV, voice and Internet, upgraded residential speeds up to 70 Mbps (and business plans up to 500 Mbps). Faced with the challenge of predicting how much additional international capacity those faster tiers would consume, the operator needed clear, data-driven insight to plan future network growth.

Using Sandvine Business Intelligence to analyze subscriber and network trends, Cable Bahamas found usage rose from 23 to 28 TB/month (about a 20% increase) after the speed boost and determined it must expand international connectivity by roughly 220%. The analytics-driven approach removed guesswork from capacity planning and enabled a targeted expansion to preserve service quality.
