SUN PEAKS, B.C. – Mascon Cable Systems has launched DOCSIS 3.0 in Sun Peaks, White Croft and Heffley Lake, the company announced last week.
Sun Peaks is the second largest ski area in British Columbia and is the third-largest in the country. The deployment of DOCSIS 3.0 (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification), or D3 technology, represents a landmark shift in Internet speeds for both its residential and business customers, says the company.
Mascon’s first introduction of D3 was in 2013 with launches in Sicamous and Chase, B.C.
The company’s Sonic 100 Internet package will now allow up to 100 MB downloads and 5 MB uploads.
In addition to the DOCSIS 3.0 Launch, Mascon also completed its fibre optic upgrade projects (which began in 2012), connecting its networks to Shaw Business Fibre in all of its major towns. Mascon has also deployed fibre directly to all of the Lodges and Hotels in Sun Peaks, and completed its final “all digital” TV conversion, too.
Mascon (a CCSA member company established in 1983) owns and operates multiple cable systems in the interior of B.C., offering digital TV, Internet and phone to approximately 3,000 customers in places such as Sicamous, Chase, Pritchard, Sun Peaks, Whitecroft, Little Shuswap Lake, White Lake, Celista, Anglemont and Tobiano Resort.
