Premier Shawn Graham has announced New Brunswick has become the fisrt for high speed Internet access in all of Canada. The announcement was made earlier today at Loon Bay Lodge.
The company Xplornet is offering access to high-speed Internet through a network of 161 towers throughout the province and by satellite in some of the most difficult to reach areas.
The government's investment means that new customers pay $99 for installation, regardless of where they live or the type of technology offered. Customers then pay $44.99 a month for fixed wireless service or $49.99 for satellite access to the Internet for the basic package.
