New Internet Project and Other Updates
June 14, 2022 -- In late May, Develop Nova Scotia (DNS) provided updates on existing Bell-DNS internet projects in our Municipality, as well as a new scope scope expansion project that provides service to additional civic addresses outside of previously announced project areas. Updates include:
- Bell-DNS Phase 2 Project "Chester Surround" - a list of 374 civic addresses now able to access Bell internet service, available in the Documents section of this project page here: Bell-DNS Phase 2 - Chester Surround Project - civics served May 2022.pdf (49.4 KB) (pdf)
- Bell-DNS New Scope Expansion Project (Various Communities) - consult the internet project summary for the additional 50 civic addresses in Aldersville, Chester Grant, East Chester, and Martins Point
More information is available in both the list of project summaries and the more detailed individual project lists on this site.
Discussion continues between Develop Nova Scotia (DNS) and internet service providers on how to meet the DNS mandate of “as close to 100% of Nova Scotian homes & businesses as possible will have access to minimum service standards of at least target speeds required by the CRTC”. DNS estimates that, outside of the projects completed or announced, there are currently 380 civic addresses remaining in our Municipality who do not have access to CRTC minimum internet service standards.
As always, don't hesitate to contact us (via this site or at jmeakin@chester.ca) or Develop Nova Scotia directly at info@developns.ca with any questions.
