We are offering bi-directional fibre over the air up to 15 Mbps speeds to meet the ever-growing need for more Internet-based services. Minimum standard from Government of Canada by 2019 is 5 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload.

Installations requiring a bucket truck will incur an additional fee of $100 per hour.
