We understand the anticipation and excitement surrounding the arrival of fibre-optic internet in Wasagaming. However, it is crucial to prioritize precision and quality to provide you with a reliable and advanced network. By breaking the deployment into phases, we can focus on delivering exceptional service to each service area while managing resources efficiently to meet the specified timelines.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and support as we work tirelessly to make fibre-optic internet accessible to all residents and businesses in our Wasagaming service area.
Phase 1 - Completion in November 2023:
We have completed Phase 1 and have brought fibre-optic internet to downtown Wasagaming in November 2023.
Phase 2 - Completion in January 2024:
For Phase 2, focused on all cabins west of Columbine St., we are currently projecting a completion date in spring 2024. However, please keep in mind that this estimation is subject to external factors that might impact the deployment schedule.
Phase 3 - Timeline To Be Determined (TBD):
Phase 3, which extends our fibre network to the campgrounds, is currently in the planning stages. While we are committed to expanding our coverage, the timeline for Phase 3 remains to be determined. We assure you that we are diligently working on the necessary preparations, but its completion date is contingent on various factors that may affect the deployment.
