Good news for Deka lake and Sulphurous Lake residents as high-speed Internet is now arriving for their communities.
Approximately 200 homes and businesses now have the benefit of high-speed Internet following the completion of a project that was funded, in part, through the Province’s Connecting British Columbia program.
ABC Communications has recently completed an upgrade of the wireless network. Now people in the community are able to access the Internet at download speeds of 50 megabits per second. Which is enough to stream high-definition video, work remotely or run a home business, connect to Telehealth and participate in educational programming.
Ravi Kahlon, Parliamentary Secretary for Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, visited 100 Mile House to launch the newest phase of the Connecting British Columbia program. The historic $50 million fund will help many more communities experience the benefits of high-speed Internet.
