Peterborough Economic Development, with representatives from Bell Canada and Mayor Daryl Bennett, today announced that Bell is investing more than $35 million to bring its Fibe TV and Fibe Internet services to Peterborough with a state-of-the-art broadband Fibre to the Home (FTTH) network. Peterborough will join Ottawa, Montréal, Toronto, Kingston and other centres in Ontario and Québec in the fast-growing Bell Fibe footprint, which now surpasses more than 5 million households covered.
“I am delighted with the decision by Bell Canada to choose Peterborough for deployment of its high speed fibre technology directly to homes and businesses,” says Mayor Daryl Bennett. “This substantial investment in Peterborough is another strong indicator of our economic potential.”
“Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship are at the core of our 5 year strategic plan. The availability of the fastest high speed Internet is perfect timing for this region,” says Dan Taylor, President and CEO of Peterborough Economic Development. “With our focus on start ups and entrepreneurship, Bell's direct installation of fibre optic high speed Internet gives Peterborough a competitive advantage to attract and retain the kind of 21st century entrepreneurs that will increase our prosperity and well paying job opportunities.”
