TELUS Fibre Optic Network is coming to Osoyoos.  TELUS and the Town of Osoyoos are proud to work together on this project to benefit and strengthen the community of Osoyoos.

Socio-economic opportunities of having over 90% of homes, businesses and organizations able to connect to a fibre optic network will include:

• Homes will have access to the best entertainment experience for generations to come;
• Businesses will have access to the services they need to operate locally and compete globally; and
• Service providers in areas such as health and education will have the opportunity to innovate how they deliver services.

This project is currently underway and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

The move is part of a $1-billion investment by Telus in its fibre-optic network across B.C.  Fibre-optic lines use light instead of electricity to transfer data through tiny strands of glass or plastic, offering higher bandwidth speed and requiring less upkeep.

Once complete, this will allow over 90 per cent of residents and businesses to enjoy Western Canada’s best home entertainment experience, Optik TV, as well as access to the fastest Internet speeds Telus offers.

Other small communities in BC will get the same services shortly.
