Xplornet Welcomes Quebec's Plan to Expand Rural Broadband
QUEBEC, Oct. 25, 2019 /CNW/ - Xplornet Communications Inc., Canada's leading rural broadband provider, is applauding the Government of Quebec's commitment to improving high-speed Internet access throughout the province.
"The launch of Regions branchees is an exciting development for rural Quebecers," said Charles Beaudet, Vice President, Quebec. "This program demonstrates the commitment of the Province to ensure rural Quebecers are connected to today's digital world. We are pleased to work with them to invest in these underserved regions of Quebec."
Earlier this year, Xplornet announced an investment of $500 million in its network in the coming years to bring speeds of 100 Mbps and unlimited data to rural residents. These investments will enable state-of-the-art 5G-ready wireless services, supported by a fibre backbone capable of delivering speeds of at least 1Gbps.
"The Province of Quebec recognizes that in today's digital economy, connectivity is vital," said Mr. Beaudet. We are excited at the prospect of working with the Province to ensure rural Quebecers receive 5G services on the same timeline as in Canada's largest cities."
