Mornington Communications Co-operative Ltd. has announced plans to provide telecommunications services in Drayton.
Previously the company brought fibre networks to Atwood, Monkton, Gadshill and is currently deploying a network in Milverton.
Construction is set to begin in May with the goal to have the first customers connected in August.
The entire Drayton project is expected to be completed by November.
“With this advanced network, Mornington will now be able to offer all of our telecommunications solutions in Drayton, including internet with download speeds up to 100 Mbps, over 250 digital television stations, and crystal clear home phone service,” states an April 16 press release from the company.
“We’re excited, this is the largest project we have ever undertaken. The research we conducted we have found there is a real need for better services in Drayton, which Mornington can deliver,” said Rick Banks, general manager.
Mornington is an independent telephone company serving customers in the 595 exchange since 1919. In recent years this service area has expanded to reach customers in Stratford, Monkton, Atwood, and Elmira, among others.
