Launches this week:
Sasktel launches infiNET in Prince Albert
REGINA – The first residential customers in Prince Albert can now sign up for infiNET, SaskTel’s new fibre optic network.
It is anticipated that all existing SaskTel high speed Internet and maxTV customers in Prince Albert will be connected by 2015, and others will also have the opportunity to sign-up for infiNET once their residential neighbourhood is converted to fibre.
infiNET is being deployed through SaskTel’s fibre to the premises (FTTP) program, a ten-year $670 million dollar initiative that will upgrade the broadband network and deploy fibre directly to homes in the nine largest urban centers in the province: Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw, Weyburn, Estevan, Swift Current, Yorkton, North Battleford and Prince Albert.
