Bell MTS announces plans to bring fibre internet connections to residents and businesses in Morden, Manitoba. It's part of a broader plan made with a $1 billion to launch fibre network speeds across Manitoba. Once these connections are installed, the promised download speeds can go up to 1.5Gbps.
Construction of the networks is scheduled to start sometime this summer, with first customers getting access in the fall. There are 3,300 homes and businesses in the city, with around 9,000 residents, making it an excellent place to start rolling out fibre connections. Bell also plans to bring these fast speeds to La Salle, Flin Flon, and Churchill in Manitoba this year.
