The EORN ultra-fast gig internet project

project in planning

The Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) is proposing the EORN Gig Project to deliver ultra-fast internet to homes and businesses in the region. This would be a game-changer for eastern Ontario to attract and retain businesses and residents, and to compete globally over the long term. “Gig” refers to an internet speed of 1,000 Mbps or 1 Gbps (gigabit per second). It provides seamless, reliable connectivity needed for business, healthcare, education and other services. Delivering Gig service generally involves a fibre optic or cable connection to the home or business.The EORN Gig Project would serve a geographic area that includes 13 municipal members of EOWC, including:County of FrontenacCounty of HaliburtonCounty of HastingsCity of Kawartha Lakes (single tier)County of LanarkUnited Counties of Leeds and GrenvilleCounty of Lennox and AddingtonCounty of NorthumberlandCounty of PeterboroughUnited Counties of Prescott and RussellCounty of Prince Edward (single tier)County of RenfrewUnited Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry
