PORT ALBERNI, B.C. – Rogers Communications today announced it has improved wireless service in Sproat Lake, which is just outside Port Alberni on Vancouver Island.
Rogers and Fido customers will now have a faster, more reliable and consistent wireless experience, says the company, which worked with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District and other local politicians to build the new cellular tower.
“Whether it’s to contact emergency services should the need arise, or to keep in touch with friends and family while at Sproat Lake, we know how important it is to provide our customers with high quality wireless access,” said Rick Sellers, Rogers’ president, British Columbia, in the release.
“Expanded wireless communications coverage contributes directly to economic development and community safety and security,” said John Jack, director and chair for the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, in the release. “The new tower by Rogers Communications is a welcomed contribution to the region.”
Today’s announcement is one of several the company has made of late. “Rogers continues to invest throughout British Columbia with major network expansions in Witset and along Highway 16, Kelowna, Burnaby, Maple Ridge, Vancouver and across SkyTrain,” says the release.
