Bell expands pure fibre Internet access to London

Bell has expanded pure fibre Internet service to homes and businesses in London. Part of Bell’s capital expenditure acceleration program for investment in national next-generation network infrastructure, the expansion program will bring all-fibre broadband access to approximately 160,000 additional locations in London by 2026.

Fully funded by Bell, this broadband expansion program will provide fast and high-capacity 100% fibre connections with Internet download speeds of up to 1.5 Gbps and access to leading Bell services such as Fibe TV. This is part of Bell’s historic two-year capital expenditure program of almost $10 billion, now in its second year, to accelerate the rollout of its broadband fibre, 5G and rural networks.

“This is great news for London. Bell’s significant investment will support fast and reliable Internet access for our City which is so important for helping residents and businesses stay connected," said, Ed Holder, Mayor of London.

“We’re proud to bring our pure fibre connections and world-leading Internet and TV services to more households and businesses in London. Access to fast and reliable Internet connections is as important as ever and this expansion is part of our long-standing objective to connect Canadians in communities throughout Ontario and across our footprint," commented, Bruce Furlong, SVP Network, Bell.
