In response to your letter received by the Manager – Municipal Relations for Bell, concerning High Speed Internet service in Springwater, Ontario, I am happy to inform you that your neighbourhood is scheduled for network installation as part of our Fibre to the Node (FTTN) program. Fibre to the Node utilizes the latest technology to deliver Fibe TM high speed Internet to neighbourhoods.
Your neighbourhood is at the edge of the Barrie exchange area which does present a few technical challenges. Bell must first apply for a Joint Use Hydro permit as we will be placing fibre cable on a significant number of Hydro poles. Bell also needs municipal consent for a road crossing to place a new section of buried cable.
The network design team has confirmed that construction for your neighbourhood is set to begin in November or December, upon receipt of the required permits. However if delays are encountered, our timeline may be impacted by winter conditions prolonging cable placement work by three to four months. We therefore estimate that the new Fibe TM services will be available some time between March and June, 2011 dependant upon these variables.
Once the work is completed, residents served in your neighbourhood will be informed of the availability of new Bell services. For your reference a map has been prepared (attached) to show where the installation of the high speed equipment is to be located in proximity to your address.
As the estimated time approaches and you have any questions, you may wish to contact 310-BELL (2355) for service options and availability.
Regards,
Associate Director - Strategic Planning and Communications
I think we have found success! Best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year to all!
That is FANTASTIC news. Congratulations!
