TORONTO – Small businesses in Ontario may now sign on for Rogers Ignite for business Gigabit, allowing them faster Internet speeds and unlimited data usage, the company said Monday.

Priced at $199.99, Rogers said that the faster speeds will allow small businesses to accomplish more tasks in a day and accomplish those tasks quicker so that they can spend more time focusing on their customers.

"Internet connectivity and speeds have a direct impact on the productivity and growth potential of a small business," said Charlie Wade, Rogers’ SVP of enterprise products and solutions, in the news release.  "Gigabit speeds will give our customers time back in their day so they can focus on serving their own customers and running their business. They will have the ability to support more users online, to run applications and manage files in the "cloud" within seconds and to run systems like point of sale terminals more quickly, all on a secure connection."

Rogers Ignite for business Gigabit is presently available to select areas in downtown Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, as well as areas in Brampton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Markham, Pickering, Ajax, and Whitby. More cities and communities will be rolling out gigabit service in the coming months.

When it first unveiled GB Internet last October, Rogers promised that the service would be available to its entire cable footprint across Ontario and Atlantic Canada by the end of 2016.
