What's happening?

Northwestel is investing $3 million to bring you access to the fastest internet in the North, with speeds up to 1 Gbps.

We're upgrading Granger to the latest fibre technology.

To bring fibre to your home, we need your consent to complete the necessary work on your property.

Giving consent does not mean you have to subscribe to an internet plan or other services—it simply ensures your home is ready for fibre when you want it.

Your current technology will eventually be phased out as fibre-to-the-home becomes the new standard.

Our new TV Plus service will replace traditional cable TV and can be bundled with the Unlimited Internet plan of your choice. Rest assured, reliable home phone services will continue to be offered over the fibre technology.


How we’re upgrading your home

Minimal disruption, maximum benefit – you’ll hardly notice we were there!

To complete the upgrade, we’ll be using methods designed to minimize disruption. Work will take place on roads, sidewalks, and residential properties.


What will happen to your property

With your permission and consultation, the contractor will drill or open a trench service duct to the side of your house.

The contractor or a Northwestel representative will explain the implications of the project as it pertains to your property before any work is performed.

Technicians will require access to your home later to connect your existing services to the new infrastructure. We will get in touch with you when we’re ready for that exciting next step.

This is a simple overview of how fibre infrastructure will flow from our Central Office (the brains of the operation) throughout a neighbourhood and to homes.
