ST. THOMAS, Ont. – St. Thomas Ont.-based Entegrus Services Inc. announced today it has agreed to sell Entegrus Fibre to London Ont.-based Start.ca, which will take over operations effective July 1, 2022.
There will be no disruption to service for current Entegrus business customers, according to a press release. “As part of the acquisition, Start.ca has committed to a three-year buildout of fibre services spanning the entire city and service businesses and residents alike. This will give St. Thomas unparalleled fibre internet coverage providing high speeds and quality access,” the release explains.
Entegrus, which acquired the St. Thomas Fibre business in 2018, will continue to own and operate its Chatham-based data centre.
“We are confident the team at Start.ca will be able to continue to provide the exceptional service that our customers expect,” said Jim Hogan, president and CEO of Entegrus, in the release. “Start.ca focuses on the customer experience, and has values closely tied to ours. It has been a pleasure serving our Fibre customers in St. Thomas and look forward to seeing this business continue to flourish with the capability and experience of its new owners.”
“We are grateful to be entrusted with the responsibility of continuing the great work started by Entegrus,” said Start.ca co-founder Peter Rocca. “While most of our products are already available in St. Thomas, we are eager to bring the benefits of fast, reliable fibre internet to the entire city, and the opportunity to become even more involved in such a great community.”
