WHITEHORSE and YELLOWKNIFE – Northwestel announced today it is boosting the speeds on all its unlimited Internet plans for customers in the Northwest Territories and Yukon, at no additional cost.
“Business and home unlimited Internet customers will see an increase of 50 Mbps or more in their download speeds starting April 8, 2022, following the CRTC approval of revised Northwestel tariffs this week,” a press release explains. (The tariffs were approved on an interim basis.)
Northwestel is reaching out directly to its Internet 125 and Business 150 customers who will need their modems replaced, however, its other customers will not need to take any action to receive increased speeds.
“We’re seeing more and more devices being used in northern homes, from tablets to TVs to smart-home devices like video systems and thermostats, and that’s really driving the demand for not just unlimited data but also faster speeds,” said Tammy April, vice-president of customer experience for Northwestel, in the release.
“Boosting the speeds of our unlimited Internet plans will help our customers better their businesses and enjoy more of what they love at home.”
