CONNECTED COAST UPDATE
The process of bringing fibre optic cable to Tahsis is taking longer as only 55% of Tahsis households signed up for the free, no obligation home connection, which is unfortunate. In Gold River, the signup is 80% and their connections will be happening in the next two weeks. For Cortes Island, signup is now 100%. If we dont sign up more, we will be left out as it will not be economical to bring this service to Tahsis. So if you want a huge improvement in internet speed and reliability and would rather not be paying the rates charged by big telecoms, we need to bring this number up to at least 80% to qualify. Again, the “drop ins” are free with no obligation to sign a contract, but we cannot begin to build out the community with just over half of the properties signed up as potential customers. The revenue generated would not even make the debt payments for the last mile construction. Please do your bit and dont leave Tahsis as an internet backwater. This is also important for the economic development of our village if we want to bring more 'internet commuters' to town.
To sign up for the free, no obligation 'drop in' service to your house, contact CityWest at
Thanks!
