General
Who is Xplornet?
Headquartered in Woodstock, New Brunswick, Xplornet Communications Inc. is Canada’s leading rural broadband provider. We believe everyone should have access to the transformative benefits of broadband, so we make our service available everywhere in Canada, including the hard-to-reach places. With cutting-edge technologies that cover 100% of rural Canada, Xplornet connects its customers to all that the Internet offers.
Will I need to sign a contract?
There is no need for you to sign a new contract under your current service. As we are committed to providing the latest technology, we may upgrade and replace older technology, in which case we will provide you with alternate Internet solutions that may require you to sign a new contract.
Who do I call/contact with any issues or questions regarding my service?
While the team at SaskTel will continue to answer any billing-related questions until February 1, 2016, you can contact us if you have any questions about this transition or need assistance with your service.
