Steinbach residents will soon have access to the next generation of high definition television and the fastest broadband connections available as MTS deploys its fibre-to-the-home network (FiON) in Steinbach over the coming months.
“MTS has a strong record of investment in Manitoba, and this project will make our services in Steinbach even better by providing customers with the latest fibre optic technology,” said Kelvin Shepherd, President, MTS. “This next generation network will supply a huge amount of bandwidth directly into our customer’s home, providing excellent support for our current telephone and high-speed Internet services, while laying the groundwork for delivering new services for many years to come.”
Customers on MTS’s fibre optic network will have access to the most advanced consumer telecommunications services that MTS offers including MTS Ultimate TV and a new suite of high-speed Internet products with speeds up to 25 Mbps and potential future speeds of over 100 Mbps.
The award winning MTS Ultimate TV service provides Manitobans with the most feature rich television service in Canada, delivering over 56 HD channels and the industry leading Whole Home PVR service that can record and playback TV programs on any connected TV in the home as well as many other great features.
MTS is investing $125 million over the next five years to make its Ultimate TV service available to an additional 120,000 homes in close to 20 Manitoba communities through the deployment of its fibre optic network. MTS Ultimate TV is currently available to 95 per cent of Winnipeg households, and in Brandon, Portage La Prairie and a growing number of homes in Selkirk.
