And yet, there is also another large segment of the Manitoba population who have experienced something quite different. Because they have lived in rural or remote areas where the expansion of internet and cellular service has been slow due largely to a smaller population base, the challenge has been simply getting adequate service.

Premier Brian Pallister said the ‘historic partnership’ with Xplornet will deliver high-speed internet to about 30 First Nations and 270 rural and northern communities.
The province has signed an agreement with Xplornet Communications to take over management of Manitoba Hydro Telecom’s broadband network in a deal that Premier Brian Pallister said will mean more than 125,000 unserved or underserved Manitobans are a step closer to receiving reliable high-speed internet and cellular services.
