This brings the total number of Saskatchewan communities with urban like internet services to over 100, and there’s more to come.
"As a 100 percent Saskatchewan-owned, not-for-profit co-operative, core to our values is connecting Saskatchewan with fast, reliable internet," said Carmela Haines, President and CEO of Access Communications Co-operative. "We're working hard to bring 1 Gig internet speeds to more and more communities in the province. We know how important it is to the quality of life for everyone."
The upgraded service means customers in these communities have access to faster speeds of up to 940 Mbps. Whether using smartphones, tablets, computers, gaming devices, smart appliances, or smart home devices, everything and everyone in the home can be online simultaneously without slowing things down.
For businesses, this upgrade means getting superior internet performance to support the most demanding business applications.
"Towns and Villages in Rural Saskatchewan have long waited for good, reliable internet service,” said Grant Clarke, Mayor of Rouleau. “With this announcement from Access Communications, many Saskatchewan rural residents will be able to perform many tasks that were once not possible. We are pleased with this news.”
Access continues to invest in its Rural Internet Tower Network as well, bringing faster speeds to over 110 towers in rural locations. ACC is continuing to increase speeds where possible across its rural network.
