SUTTON, QC — Bell is extending its high-speed Wireless Home Internet service to 15 rural communities in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec, the company announced Tuesday.
Wireless Home Internet service is now available to eligible homes in Bolton-Est, Bolton-Ouest, Compton, Dunham, Farnham, Frelighsburg, Hatley, Ogden, Saint-Armand, Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle, Stanstead, Stukely-Sud, Sutton and Waterville, and will soon be available in Eastman. These 15 communities are located in the regional county municipalities of Brome-Missisquoi, Coaticook, Memphrémagog and Val-Saint-François.
“As the leader in broadband network innovation, Bell is proud to deliver high-speed connectivity to residents and cottagers in the Eastern Townships with our Wireless Home Internet service,” said Rizwan Jamal, President, Bell Residential Services, in the news release. “Wireless Home Internet is specifically designed to bring the benefits of broadband Internet to smaller towns and rural communities, and we look forward to expanding the service further in Québec and beyond.”
Bell’s Wireless Home Internet service is already available in communities in Quebec, including a recent launch in the Montérégie region, and Ontario, in areas such as the Niagara wine region and the Muskoka and Kawartha Lakes regions.
To bring broadband Internet access to rural and other traditionally underserved locations, Bell’s Wireless Home Internet service employs 5G-capable technology in the 3500 MHz spectrum band on Bell’s advanced LTE wireless network, Bell said in the release. Fully funded by Bell, Wireless Home Internet is projected to ultimately reach at least 1 million rural households throughout Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba, Bell said.
