OSHAWA, ON, September 14, 2021 – Bell today announced a major milestone in its expansion of pure fibre Internet service to homes and businesses in urban and rural areas of Oshawa.

The expansion program will bring direct-fibre network connections to an additional 10,000 locations by the end of 2021.

Today’s announcement brings Bell’s $100 million investment to deliver direct fibre network connections to approximately 60,000 homes and business locations in Oshawa close to completion.
