TORONTO — Rogers Communications announced today it is investing $1.4 million to bring high-speed broadband services to more than 275 homes and businesses in the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN) community in southwestern Ontario.
In partnership with the MCFN council’s fibre optics ad hoc committee, Rogers will expand its fibre network to deliver fibre-to-the-home technology across 30 square kilometres of underserved areas in the community. Once completed, residents and business owners will have access to Rogers Ignite Internet with up to 1 Gbps service and Rogers Ignite TV.
“Rogers will work with local contractors to help build the network and will explore future opportunities to help contribute to the community’s economic growth,” reads the company’s press release.
Construction on the project is expected to start in July 2021 with services available in early 2022.
