Officials with SaskTel say they have completed an upgrade to high speed internet to nearly 2,700 homes across northern Saskatchewan.
The utility says residents of these communities now have access to download and upload speeds that are up to 3 times faster than what was available before the completion of this project.
The total cost of the project was approximately $9.9 million.
It included upgrades in all 26 communities as well as the construction of 89 km of fibre from Cigar Lake to Collins Bay and 9 km of fibre from Dillon to St. George’s Hill.
The federal government contributed $7.42 million in funding to assist in the completion of the project.
