A Chatham-Kent based internet service provider is expanding its fibre network locally.

TekSavvy says another 700 homes and businesses in Cedar Springs and Blenheim now have access to fibre internet service and more will be added in the coming weeks.

According to a news release, the company says in early February, the fibre construction in Cedar Springs will reach 450 homes and businesses in early February. The Blenheim project will reach a total of 2,350 homes and businesses with completion scheduled for early summer 2022.

“TekSavvy is proud to deliver the latest fibre-based technology to these communities,” says Charlie Burns, Chief Technology Officer at TekSavvy. “Residents and businesses can access fast, reliable internet service — and all at a reasonable price.”

“Communities such as Blenheim and Cedar Springs are part of the backbone of our community,” said Chatham-Kent Mayor Darrin Canniff. “Affordable high-speed connectivity from an industry leader such as TekSavvy will make a real difference for residents and businesses.”
