Summary
Digicel is pulling out of El Salvador — a strategic retreat to focus laser-sharp on its Caribbean crown jewels. The sale, set for completion by mid-2027, lets them slash complexity, slash debt, and slash distractions while pouring more cash into fiber, subsea cables, and network upgrades where they’re already winning. This isn’t their first exit — they just shuttered their entire Pacific footprint last year — but with 9 million customers still firmly in their grasp across 25 markets, Digicel’s tightening the belt to build bigger, bolder bandwidth. And the buyer? GITES, who already owns Movistar in El Salvador — meaning this deal could tighten the telecom grip even further if regulators say yes.
