Connecting you to what matters

Oct 1, 2018 | 2:09 PM

That’s Xplornet’s mission when it comes to offering rural high-speed Internet. The company is proud to announce that they are rolling out a brand-new service offering for rural customers in the Battlefords and surrounding areas: high speed Internet with unlimited data packages in rural Saskatchewan!

The new unlimited data packages are a first from Xplornet, and they are offering it first in Saskatchewan! The promotion is offered to rural customers in certain coverage areas with an uncapped data plan and the latest LTE technology with faster download speeds of up to 25 Mbps.

Unlimited data and faster speeds of up to 25 Mbps will allow rural customers the ability to do more of what they want online, including streaming video using Netflix, even with multiple users in the same house, without having to worry about a data cap.

Xplornet is able to offer these unique packages in the province because of a significant network investment in Saskatchewan that included recent installation and upgrades to many towers in 2018. These towers, which utilize advanced LTE technology, are able to deliver the capacity necessary for customers to use unlimited amounts of data with fast download speeds.  The only requirement is line of sight within the proximity of their new towers.

Xplornet was founded as a small business in Woodstock, New Brunswick less than 15 years ago.  Today, the company is the largest rural broadband Internet provider in Canada, with customers in every province and territory.  Xplornet remains proudly headquartered in Woodstock.

Xplornet wants to ensure every single customer is satisfied with their service, and guarantees that with a worry free money back guarantee which enables you to try the services for 30 days.

Xplornet bases their business on their core mandate of connecting people to what matters. The company’s Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs, James Maunder, stands by their company’s slogan.

“At Xplornet we are committed to ensuring rural Canadians are able to connect to what matters in today’s online world,” said Maunder.  “Connecting to what matters could be speaking to your son or your daughter or a family member that’s on the other side of the country via video chat, or ensuring your mother who is on the other side of the world and has fallen ill is able to participate, virtually, in your wedding at a remote forest location in BC – a true story which we were proud to help facilitate.”

Last year, Xplornet acquired the fixed wireless Internet business of Saskatchewan-based YourLink, and has since been hard at work upgrading the network it acquired in order to offer improved service to customers throughout Saskatchewan.  The network reaches as north as Meadow Lake, throughout communities such as Lashburn, Maidstone, Cut Knife, to Wilkie, Maymont, Borden, as well as Asquith and Biggar, Purdue and Spring Water, and many others.

Xplornet knows that residents of rural Saskatchewan deserve faster Internet speeds and has invested heavily in recent months.  They are excited to show the people in these rural communities what their faster service can do.
