Regina, SK – Access Communications Co-operative is bringing its gigabit internet service to even more of Saskatchewan. The co-operative is launching AccessHyperSpeed 1 Gig internet services in 25 more communities on February 28.
“This is a meaningful step in bridging the rural-urban digital divide,” said Carmela Haines, CEO of Access Communications. “The need for high-speed connectivity has never been greater. For many of these communities, the fastest service currently available from other providers is 50 Mbps, the minimum recommended by the CRTC. Our gigabit service, in contrast, is the fastest we offer anywhere in the province. These launches will represent a technological leap for the underserved parts of our province.”
Access launched AccessHyperSpeed 1 Gig services in the following communities:
Biggar
Canora
Churchbridge
Coronach
Cudworth
Davidson
Delisle
Esterhazy
Foam Lake
Gravelbourg
Grenfell
Humboldt
Kerrobert
Lampman
Langenburg
Maple Creek

With these launches, Access Communications now offers gigabit internet to a total of 43 communities and download speeds of at least 450 Mbps in over 100 communities in Saskatchewan. These internet services are bolstered by AccessSmart Wi-Fi+, a premium Wi-Fi experience, and AccessNexTV Stream, a streaming television service that delivers 400 channels and leading-edge features like Cloud PVR, Restart and Lookback TV, and compatibility with mobile and streaming devices.
