Bell to Invest $50-Million In Sarnia-Lambton Fibre-Net.





























From Cathy Dobson, The Sarnia Journal.



Bell Canada is about to dig deep to connect about 20,000 homes in Sarnia and Point Edward with fibre-optic cables the company say will provide ‘world class’ Internet and ‘rock solid’ reliability.

The telecommunications giant is spending more than $50 million in Sarnia to provide home and commercial customers with better phone and TV service and gigabit-Internet speeds 200 times that of existing ones.

Not only will the company need to dig deep to cover the cost, work crews will literally have to dig into the front yards of thousands of properties.

The massive upgrade locally is part of a multibillion-dollar investment Bell is making across Canada to keep up with consumer demand for Internet service much faster than copper wiring can provide.

Toronto, Sudbury, Cornwall and Hamilton have already been connected with fibre optics and the work is underway in Windsor.
