A local internet service provider continues to expand its fibre network across Chatham-Kent.
TekSavvy recently began offering fibre services to more than 250 homes and businesses in Mitchell’s Bay, Grande Pointe, and Pain Court; 480 homes and businesses in Bothwell; and more than 300 previously under-serviced customers near the Around-the-River Trail loop on Riverview Line and Grande River Line.
Access to fast, reliable internet has long been an issue for rural residents.
“The need and demand for a high-speed fibre-optic service has never been greater,” said Chatham-Kent Mayor Darrin Canniff. “The opportunity to partner with an industry leader such as TekSavvy makes it even better.”
Officials with TekSavvy say many of the new connections come as part of the Southwestern Integrated Fibre Technology (SWIFT) regional broadband program.
