MARKHAM – Internet service provider NetCrawler said Monday that it has expanded its network coverage in Ontario, which now covers more than 87 per cent of residents in the province.
The cable company added that it expects to triple its customer base within the next 12 months before making further expansion across the rest of the province and then Western Canada.
“This expansion represents an important milestone for our company,” Rajinthan Rajalingam, president and CEO of Netcrawler, said in a press release. “With the recent buying spree by major players in the telecom industry, the last few months have been a challenging time for all independent service providers. We are fortunate that we were able to grow beyond our projections during this period.”
The company’s CEO also noted that NetCrawler hopes to expand into remote communities.
“We understand the significant impact that a lack of internet access can have on individuals, families, and businesses, particularly in remote communities,” Rajalingam added. “We are committed to expanding our services to ensure that everyone in Canada has access to high-quality internet, no matter where they live,” he concluded.
The company offers high-speed internet packages of 100 Mbps download and 30 Mbps for $57, 300/30 for $79, and 500/30 for $85 in major cities, not including its three-month promotions.
The company said it has adopted new technologies that allows it to improve network performance and increase bandwidth while keeping prices low.
