Barrett Xplore becomes Xplornet Communications


WOODSTOCK, NB – Rural broadband provider Barrett Xplore Inc. has officially rebranded to Xplornet Communications Inc.

CEO John Maduri said that the name change “reflects the incredible success and growth” of the company since its launch seven years ago.  At that time, it debuted using co-chairs Ed and Bill Barrett names to bring credibility to what he described as “a unique, even risky business plan”.

“Using Ed and Bill’s name as part of our corporate identity told the Canadian business community that we were serious – with the weight of two of Canada’s leading entrepreneurs behind us”, Maduri said. “That helped us attract the investment we needed to get us where we are today – the leading provider of rural broadband and one of Canada’s largest telecommunications firms. Now, our focus is solidly on an even faster expansion of our customer base.”
