TORONTO —The Ontario government recently announced it has signed agreements with eight internet service providers to bring high-speed internet access to over 300 municipalities across Ontario.
The internet service providers were selected through a two-stage competitive process. The initiative will provide access to over 250,000 unserved and underserved homes and businesses, stated a recent release.
The government has said it will spend $4 billion to provide access to the whole province by the end of 2025. The government has committed $950 million to 190 broadband, cellular and satellite projects to date, bringing faster internet access to over 375,000 homes and businesses across the province, and improving cellular connectivity throughout eastern Ontario.
In 2021, Ontario passed the Supporting Broadband and Infrastructure Expansion Act, 2021 to help speed up construction of broadband projects.
