Thousands more people in rural and Indigenous communities are benefiting from improved high-speed internet thanks to provincial Investments in Connectivity Infrastructure projects.
The province says this year, projects were completed in 147 communities, benefiting an estimated 11,121 households.
Since July 2017, projects to improve high-speed internet access across B.C have been underway or completed in over 500 communities, including 87 Indigenous communities.
