Fort Smith, NWT - Norman Wells and Fort Smith residents now have access to faster Internet speeds and more data usage as Northwestel launches residential Internet 125 and Business Internet 150 in those communities. The download speeds of 125 Mbps and 150 Mbps are at least 25% faster than what was previously available. The new Internet packages also come with an additional 100 GB of monthly usage.

“Expanding our popular Internet 125 package into Fort Smith and Norman Wells delivers a new, exciting option for customers who want more,” says Northwestel President Curtis Shaw. “Today’s announcement will mean greater flexibility for residents and businesses in these communities.”

“Northern entrepreneurs and business owners are competing in a digital marketplace,” says Fort Smith’s Senior Administrative Officer Keith Morrison. “That means the competitiveness of our residents and businesses is directly tied to the speed of our Internet. Faster Internet will go a long way toward helping the business community here.”

Norman Wells and Fort Smith join Yellowknife, Whitehorse and Carcross as Northern communities with access to Internet 125 and Business Internet 150. Learn more at nwtel.ca/internet.
