Northwestel said it will provide fiber-optic home internet with unlimited data and up to 500 Mbps download speeds to 13 NWT communities, as well as several communities in the Yukon. Northwestel, for its part, states that fiber is “the best internet network technology”. When asked via email whether it will offer unlimited data to satellite Internet communities once they start using the OneWeb network, a spokesperson replied that the company will “announce future Internet plans as they become available.” Fiber optic ‘the best internet network technology’, says Northwestel Northwestel says it plans to start serving that community, and eight others in NWT, next year with low-Earth orbit satellite internet from OneWeb and Telesat.īut what that internet will look like for residential users is unclear.
He also pointed out that Northwestel is changing the way it brings satellite internet to Colville Lake. The initial cost of the court - $759 - is out of reach for many people, and many homes are already equipped with a Northwestel Internet connection. “I just want to get rid of a lot of different things that I don’t have to pay for,” he said.Ĭodzi believes competition for Northwestel in Colville Lake will benefit consumers, but he cautions that Starlink will not be the best option for everyone.
