I nternet- project wraps Up By Tim Foran CANADIAN CHAMPION STAFF The Town of Milton bas officially announced its Rural Broadband Internet project is complete, though it bas recognized the topography of Nassagaweya has prevented some residents from being able to access the service. Tbe program, which saw the municipality fie up with the Internet service provider Xplornet, had been undertaken to ensure at least 95 per cent of rural residents could get access to fixed wireless bigh spced internet service. That percentage bas been achieved, said town staff. Tbe Provinces Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs paid $480,600 to covcr one third of the costs of the roll out of the Internet service with Xplornets par- ent company, Barrett Xplore. pick- ing up the remainder of the costs. The Town also invested $93,623 to market the program. So far, 900 rural residents and businesses have signed up with Xplornet, according to a staff report reviewed by council recently That represenes about 20 per cent of the 4,300 rural households in Milton, according to Xplomnet. Nassagaweya-area Councillor ian Mowbray, who led the push to get high-speed Internet access to, rural residents, said she was disappointed there are stili residents who can't get fixed wireless service. To accommodate those rural res- idents still unable to receive fixed wireless Internet or experiencing poor service with their satellite-pro- vided Internet, Xplomet is offering some special packages for other high-speed satellite Internet service, the staff report stated. However, as the Town's involve- ment in the project is complete, its refemrng ail inquiries about rural broadband service to Xplomnet to 1- 866-841-6001. The Town's staff report outlining the promotions is available at www.milton.ca.
