Northwestel celebrates completing its fibre Internet upgrade to Marsh Lake and Judas Creek
July 6th, 2023, Whitehorse, YT - Northwestel proudly sponsored Marsh Lake's Canada Day community BBQ as the company celebrated the completion of its local fibre upgrade. Residents and businesses from Lewes Dam Road to Judas Creek Drive, now have access to the north's fastest home Internet, with speeds up to 500 Mbps and unlimited data. Customers in these areas also now have access to live TV through the Northwestel TV Plus app.
These fibre upgrades are part of Northwestel's Every Community Project, a 3-year project to bring high speed unlimited Internet to 10,000 homes across the Northwest Territories and Yukon. Northwestel plans to complete 17 more communities this year, including 11 in the Yukon. The improvements are funded by the CRTC Broadband Fund as well as Northwestel's own significant investments.
Northwestel invites community members to visit their Facebook page to enter the Northwestel TV Giveaway. One lucky resident will go home with a Samsung 75" 4K UHD Smart TV, perfect for connecting with TV Plus.
Order the new fibre Internet and Northwestel TV Plus app online at www.nwtel.ca. There is no installation fee when switching from a DSL Internet plan.
