IQALUIT – Northwestel has launched its new satellite Internet service in Nunavut, offering residents of six communities faster Internet speeds, unlimited long distance calling and more customer choice.
As part of the new service package, customers in Arviat, Baker Lake, Cambridge Bay, Gjoa Haven, Kugluktuk and Rankin Inlet may now bundle their long distance telephone and Internet services together on one bill, subscribe to unlimited Nunavut calling for $1 per month, or unlimited North American long distance for $10.95 per month.
For a limited time, Northwestel will provide and install the small satellite dish needed to access the new services for a one-time fee of $110, which includes the price of the satellite dish. The introductory offer is available without a contract commitment starting at $59.95 per month.
“We are excited to be able to bring this new Internet service to Nunavut,” said VP of marketing Curtis Shaw, in the announcement. “At speeds of up to 2 Mbps, this is the fastest Internet experience available in Nunavut and provides customers additional choice for their broadband needs.”
Northwestel said that it will offer the new service in more Nunavut communities later this year.
