Rogers will build a fiber optic network to connect 71 kilometers of underserved roads and supply more than 2,100 households and businesses. According to the operator, these municipalities currently have only limited access to the high-speed Internet.
“Rogers Fiber Network offers a range of Internet packages, including gigabit speeds across the entire cable length, and will support higher speeds with the development of technology and services,” the carrier wrote in a statement.
Construction will begin in early 2020 and the services will be available in late 2020 as part of a gradual process.
