UDORA, Ont. – Independent ISP Vianet’s fibre to the home (FTTH) Network is up and running in Udora, weeks earlier than anticipated.
Vianet connected its first customer April 6th and has been installing multiple customers in the tiny community about an hour north of Toronto each day since, the company said in a press release today. “I was surprised to be the first person to be connected,” said Udora resident Mart Poldma in the release. “The timing is fantastic for me as this shutdown is on us. Now I can use my computer and actually see things, communicate with others, use video, etc. Plus, I have more channels and options with my TV service.”
This project will see over 450 households connected to fibre.
“With many years of experiencing the challenges dense tree coverage presented in delivering consistent fixed wireless service within the community, Vianet understood the need to upgrade to FTTH in this area,” said the company, and response to the new network has been strong.
“We love the enthusiasm we have received from the Udora community for our fibre service. We appreciate the challenges small towns face when it comes to obtaining reliable, affordable broadband and are committed to providing a better internet solution,” said Lisa McWhirter, special projects coordinator at Vianet, in the release.
