QUEBEC CITY, QC – Xplornet Communications Inc., Canada’s leading rural-focused broadband service provider, is delighted to announce that seven of the company’s projects have been selected by the Government of Quebec, as part of Operation Haute Vitesse, to deploy Fibre-To-The-Home high-speed Internet services to more than 23,000 homes and businesses by September 30, 2022.
“As a pioneer in the deployment of world-class broadband services to rural Canadians, Xplornet is looking forward to deploying more than 3,200 kilometres of fibre to rural communities in Quebec and providing Fibre-To-The-Home high-speed internet services to tens of thousands of Quebec homes and businesses”, said Allison Lenehan, President and CEO of Xplornet. “Our company has distinguished itself by its strong ability to carry out large-scale rural projects quickly. We support the Government of Quebec’s determination to connect all Quebec homes as soon as possible and we are pleased with the efforts being made to achieve this.”
