What is fibre internet?
Northwestel fibre internet uses light signals through ultra-thin glass strands to move data at incredible speeds. It's one of the most reliable technologies available today and unlike older cable infrastructure, full fibre delivers symmetrical speeds, meaning your upload speed matches your download speed.
That matters for video calls, remote work, gaming, streaming on multiple devices, and anything else your household does online.
How does fibre reach your home?
Northwestel internet can reach your home in two ways, depending on your neighbourhood. Both give you fast, reliable, fibre-powered internet.²
Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH)
A full fibre line runs directly from our network to your home.
Hybrid Fibre-Coax (HFC)
Fibre runs to your neighbourhood, with coax cable carrying the final stretch.

Fibre internet, built for the North.
Fibre isn’t just faster internet, it’s a major infrastructure upgrade for northern communities. Every kilometre of fibre we place, every neighbourhood we light up, and every home we connect is part of a long‑term investment in the North’s digital future.
From Whitehorse to Fort Nelson and beyond, we’re building a network that supports northern businesses, remote workers, students, creators, and families, today and for decades to come.
This is fibre built for northern weather, northern distances, and northern communities. And we’re delivering it one neighbourhood, one street, one home at a time.
