York Region fibre internet service provider telMAX announced last week it has connected its first customer in the Town of Aurora, Ont.
Offering a suite of internet, TV, streaming and home phone solutions, telMAX serves the communities of Stouffville, where it is based, Brooklin, Newmarket and now Aurora.
“In a partnership effort between telMAX and the Town, ground was broken last October to initiate the build-out, extending telMAX’s 100% pure fibre throughout Aurora,” a press release says. “The ongoing construction efforts, scheduled for completion in 2024, mark a significant milestone in providing state-of-the-art infrastructure that will redefine Internet connectivity for both residents and businesses in Aurora, boasting unparalleled speeds and exceptional local customer care.”
telMAX’s MAXfibre internet service offers customers download and upload speeds up to 1 Gbps, although the ISP claims its 100 per cent fibre network is capable of delivering speeds up to 10 Gbps. telMAX has been named the fastest ISP in Canada by PC Magazine in 2022 and 2023.
“I’m so thrilled to welcome our inaugural Aurora family to the telMAX experience. We reiterate our commitment to delivering faster, more reliable, and affordable high-speed fibre internet access to communities, prioritizing local, superior customer service, without relying on federal subsidies,” Stuart Roberts, president and COO of telMAX, said in the press release.
“The support and cooperation we’ve received from the Town of Aurora and its residents has been remarkable. Since we announced our expansion into Aurora, we received an overwhelming response from residents signing up for our services in eager anticipation,” he said.
“Partnering with telMAX on this transformative project, has been truly exhilarating,” said Aurora Mayor Tom Mrakas. “We understand the growing demand from residents and businesses for faster, more reliable Internet service in daily lives and firmly believe that telMAX will enrich our community for years to come. It’s a pleasure to welcome Chris, Chantal and their family as the first telMAX customers and look forward to continuing to strengthen the Town’s relationship with telMAX.”
