A total of $11.1 million will be invested into nearly 800 households in Montmagny RCM as part of the Canada-Quebec Operation High Speed. This will provide households access to Cogeco high-speed internet services by September 2022.

Cogeco will be receiving a total amount of 10.4 million dollars from the two levels of the government to kickstart the program and deploy high-speed internet access. The project’s total cost amounts to 11.1 million dollars. The following municipalities will receive this infrastructure:

In the next few weeks, Cogeco will start the inventory of the chosen regions to make sure that all the households will be included.
With the modern times, high-speed internet services are seen as a necessity especially in places like Quebec. To ensure economic and social development, there should be constant access to high-performance, reliable and affordable Internet services. This project will be a vital part of the digital transformation in Quebec which will further access to telemedicine, distance learning, entertainment, and online retail and telework.
