Northwestel announced Wednesday the introduction of its 700 Mbps speed plan.
The Unlimited Internet 700 is available in Whitehorse, Yellowknife, Inuvik, Hay River, Behchokǫ̀, Carcross, Dawson City, Watson Lake, Carcross, Fort Simpson, Haines Junction, Fort Providence, Whatì, Fort Good Hope, Fort Liard, Faro, Fort Resolution, Ross River, Pelly Crossing Tagish, Teslin, Dettah, Mayo, Wrigley, Beaver Creek, Enterprise, Burwash Landing, Destruction Bay, Kakisa, Champagne, Stewart Crossing, Marsh Lake, Judas Creek, and Upper Liard where facilities support.
The introduction of the new plan coincides with a $10 per month price decrease on the telecom’s 500 Mbps and 300 Mbps plans as well as a $5 per month decrease on its TV Plus basic package – all of which will apply automatically to customer bills, the telecom said.
Northwestel, which is being sold by Bell to an indigenous consortium, is also working with the former parent to extend a Bell mobility and Northwestel Internet bundled discount credit of $20 indefinitely. “Once only for 24 months, now customers who subscribe to any Northwestel home internet plan and an eligible Bell Mobility wireless plan can receive an ongoing $20/month credit on their Bell Mobility bill,” a press release said.
“We’re proud that, in a world where prices seem to keep going up, we’re able to bring them down,” Tammy April, Northwestel’s vice president of customer experience, said in the release. “Northwestel is delivering the fastest speeds and the most options for Northerners. We’re committed to being the best and will continue to push the bar and deliver more value for our customers.”
