Improved high-speed internet making its way to Rocky and Clearwater County
In an effort to solve some of Rocky Mountain House and Clearwater County’s internet connectivity issues, town and county councillors have chosen to support TELUS in their application for the Universal Broadband Fund.
The fund is a $1.75 billion Government of Canada program to help promote high-speed internet projects across the country with a focus on rural and remote areas.
Funds are only eligible for areas that are considered to not have a 50 Mbps download speed and 10 Mbps upload speed, which parts of Rocky and the vast majority of the county don’t.
