When can I expect your to start construction in my neighbourhood? Or when can I expect the installation to occur?

Main line Construction from our parent company Canadian Fiber Optics Corp. (CFOC)and Canadian Fiber Construction (CFCC) will be starting in May. Check our the MAP HERE!

It is difficult to predict the exact timing of our construction project, but it is expected that all homes within the approved area will be done by winter. Each subdivision or hamlet will take about 3 weeks to complete.
