“Part of Bell’s accelerated capital investment in national next-generation network infrastructure, the expansion program will bring all-fibre broadband access to approximately 4,600 locations in the Acadian Peninsula by the end of 2021,” reads a press release.
In Oshawa, Bell says it has achieved “a major milestone”, having expanded its all-fibre broadband access to more than 44,000 locations in and around the city.
