Chatham, ON 1 edit TSI Marc Premium Member [Cable] Ottawa St. Laurent POI As you all know, it's been a crazy week but we're trying to keep everything running as smoothly as possible.



I promised that I would announce something this week and so here it is.



We have one of the 3 Ottawa POIs ready to go. The St. Laurent POI is up and running with 500MB/sec of capacity and a gig upgrade on the way. It was ordered prior to making the decision to only add gig links.



We were really hoping to get all 3 POIs going at the same time so as to avoid false sign-ups for people who are near the border of the next POIs but Rogers has yet to get back to us about the other two so we're just going to have to roll with it.



Now, the other issue is that with everything else going on, the call volumes are crazy and so we're really hoping to avoid adding to the problem. So, I'd like to propose that if you're interested in signing-up that you either post in the direct forum so that we can manually call you back when we're able or even better to sign-up via the web forms. You should be able to put your postal code in and do it that way.



We're hiring more staff but it will take a few weeks before they're trained and contributing. Once we have more staff and hopefully by then we'll also have the other two POIs up and running, then we can send out a notice to all our users and update the website.



Outside of that, we've signed the agreements to open up gig links to the following locations;



Guelph

Kitchener

London

Newmarket

Brampton

Ajax

Markham

New Dundee



We're also waiting on a second gig link for these locations;



York Mills

Scarlett

Bloor

McNicoll

Dupont



We're also waiting on a secondary/backup 10gig backhaul link.



These could all take a weeks to go live still but they are for sure on the way. There's clearly no way to know when and so I wont pretend to guess. It's in Rogers hands at this point.



So, that's everything I know.



Happy surfing.

Just being completely honest here, there's not much going on with Cogeco. We're having a difficult time getting a gig link out of them in Chatham. This is after running fibre right to their building.

What postal codes does the St. Laurent POI cover?



I'm probably too far west.. can't wait until K1Y gets upgraded.



Thanks for the announcement, keep up the good work.

If you're west of bank street, It's extremely unlikely that you'll be on this POI. I'm in K2C.
