Improving High-Speed Internet Access
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the crisis in rural internet access and capacity. It has impacted businesses, student learning, healthcare and government services. EORN is proposing a project to deliver ultra-fast internet to homes and businesses in the region.
The project helps bring improved broadband speeds and better pricing for municipal government services across the region.
EORN has been serving communities across eastern Ontario since 2010.
The higher speed internet has truly allowed us to flourish in the community. It's allowed us to grow in the community where we started and where we want to stay.
