OVRT to host fibre cable to improve high-speed internet in parts of Beckwith, North Elmsley

Lanark County will allow Community Fibre to install buried high speed internet equipment along the Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail.

The project is expected to bring improved high-speed Internet access to underserved residents in Beckwith and Drummond-North Elmsley.

More than 450 homes will see improved service using a 19-kilometre access corridor to install ethernet along the municipal right of way that is part of the OVRT. It will also improve distribution using an additional 61 km of new aerial pole-mounted optical fibre.
